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.
The state of Kansas can or at least used to let the hospitals refuse to treat anyone without insurance. I hope they've changed that now but really don't know.
What was so maddening in Mom's case, we had insurance but they refused to pay for 'experimental' surgery. Yep, it's all about money.
