a situation that should have been treatable became an emergency for no reason beyond money.
First, the situation remained treatable, or the employee would be dead.
Second, if he could afford health insurance for this employee, she'd still be out $400, or close, due to the deductible.
Third, for
only $400, his employee was able to overcome a potential limb-or-life-threatening infection and return to work. Somehow, this is
BAD???
Fourth, regardless of how many times they repeat sob-stories, the fact is that
someone has to pay the doctor, the hospital, the lab, the pharmacy, etc. If the
patient doesn't pay when she goes,
she'll still have to pay for it. It'll just come out of her paycheck in the form of a tax. IF anyone can afford to HIRE her after they figure out their share of the country's health care costs.
Why doesn't he insist that the government owes these employees a place to live? Transportation? Cable TV?? A computer, and internet service!!
