you are clueless… this has nothing to do with socialized medicine. This young girl is a tragedy. She died during a medical procedure. Because people like you do not understand the human body and its functioning well enough you somehow think that keeping her on a ventilator is the same as keeping her ‘alive;. It is not. Kill the ventilator that is oxygenating her blood an coursing it though her veins and her death will be obvious.
You misunderstand me. My issue is with those saying that she should be kept on the ventilator regardless of the costs. I wouldn’t care if private donations or the family was footing the bill, but since it’s the taxpayers, I do care. My contention is that those insisting she be kept “alive” are supporting socialized medicine, which is rare in these parts, no?
