Temo: Re:but they could be talking about someone with some advanced stage of a disease that would cost millions to treat, and maybe they cant pay that, so they end up dying sooner than the person who can pay those costly treatments..
(V): That's not good is it!!
I might not use the word good, but it sure isnt bad.... like I said, we all die anyway, so in reality we arent talking about saving lives, we are talking about prolonging lives!
So, you dont have health care and cant afford the 5 million dollar treatment that will extend your life by a few months, and I am a millionair who can afford that... so what???
Since you guys are on with your phantom stats... tell me, how many people with health care die each year?
or better.... two people, both with health care coverage, both with the same disease..... are they both supposed to die at the same exact time???? One may outlive the other by many years, with the exact same coverage and the exact same disease.... your stats dont take things like that into account do they????
