Malpractice

Does anyone really believe that the health care system in this country is “the best in the world”? America has medical care based upon class and money. Those with ability to pay can get good care. Those on company supported plans can get good care. Those who attempt to purchase their own medical insurance will soon be in debt. Those who need care and cannot pay – well sorry. You get discarded.

A paraplegic man wearing a soiled hospital gown and a broken colostomy bag was found crawling in a gutter in skid row in Los Angeles on Thursday after allegedly being dumped in the street by a Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center van, police said.

The incident, witnessed by more than two dozen people, was described by police as a particularly outrageous case of "homeless dumping" that has plagued the downtown area.

"I can't think of anything colder than that," said LAPD Det. Russ Long, who called the case the most egregious of its kind that he has seen in his career.

Makes you proud to be an American.
