5 year old's family can't afford cancer treatment, so the kid draws to save his life

King of Names said:
maybe the 5 year old should have just danced around in a little jester suit for change. That would have been a cute way to get money for his cancer too.

I am torn. Part of me wants to troll because I know this is a decisive issue. Part of me did get sad when I read that we live in a society where this family either has to put their house up, or the kid has to work his ass off (in 5 year old terms) to live.

But then I think, it's really the parents fault. Everyone should have enough money when they bring a kid into this world to be able to pay their medical bills. Otherwise all the prole baby poppers are just going to fuck like rabbits and pass their stupid kids bills off onto us.

It's not the kids fault. But perhaps the solution is to pay the kid the money and then execute the parents for being irresponsible.

The strange thing is some people keep saying we aren't producing enough children and we need to increase immigration. Then there's those who don't like immigrants so it seems the solution is to look after the children born here.

"Having limited assets is one of the primary requirements for Medicaid eligibility, but poverty alone does not qualify a person to receive Medicaid benefits unless they also fall into one of the defined eligibility categories.[11] According to the CMS website, "Medicaid does not provide medical assistance for all poor persons. Even under the broadest provisions of the Federal statute (except for emergency services for certain persons), the Medicaid program does not provide health care services, even for very poor persons, unless they are in one of the designated eligibility groups."[11]

A single-payer or universal or full government plan would eliminate all those things. That was the goal but the Repubs fought every step of the way.

A much larger percentage of working people's assets have gone for things other than social programs for deadbeats.

As much as Donald Trump is a wacko he is right when he said the terrorists blow up buildings in the Middle East, the US rebuilds them, the terrorists blow them up, the US rebuilds them......on and on it goes. Buildings, roads, infrastructure.....maybe it's time to get the hell out of there and build a few new hospitals here and a plant to manufacture hospital furniture like beds and chairs and stretchers and carts and .....

Just imagine over 100,000 military guys doing construction work here for military pay, no less!

That sounds actually Keynesian rather than this half-baked sorta-Keynesian economics where they ignore the 'so long as it's on infrastructure' part of the whole theory.

while i think medicare should be expanded to cover situations like this....this kid and family did it on their own without needing the government. i think that scares the left because most on the left believe we must depend on the government for all things.

You don't know what scares the left.
 
:lol:

Just heard about this story on the radio, the IRS sent the parents a tax bill for not reporting the money on their taxes.

What's ironic? If lack of medical care is contributing to an individual's state of mind (depression) let's start by providing that care and observe the result.

what's ironic?......the disparity you have between this solution and the solution of abortion......there it's "they couldn't possibly want to live that way".......

You're kidding.

Right?

Why do I believe this without question?

Many here would defend this if fact,,,, and if true.

How sad.
