Prayers on the way for your mom and whole family.

I totally understand the anger with the insurance companies. My mother had a valve that was semi squashed in her heart due to a childhood illness. In the early 1960s, heart surgery was almost unheard of. I knew there was a delay getting her to the KU Med center in Kansas City but never knew why until a few years ago. Turns out the heart valve replacement surgery that could have saved her life was considered a trial procedure and the insurance company would not cover it. The hospital would not operate without the insurance. When Dad promised to sue the insurance company and the med center, they admitted her but it was too late. She died just because they wouldn't ok to pay the bill. What's even sadder, the operation she needed is so routine today, it's almost outpatient procedure. I grew up without my mother thanks to an insurance companies stupidity.
I can't believe that! I thought it was the law that hospitals have to treat patients even if they cannot afford to pay for it? I am sorry to hear about your mom. I don't understand how they can just let someone die and not treat them. It's all about money it seems.
