Yep. Ironic, isn't it?
Here's another one that boggles my brain, if it's true. My hubby was telling me yesterday that there is a law in some large state out west, hmm, I think it begins with a T...maybe you know it Auntie Mel? But anyway, this law says that docs can override families and decide to take a patient off of life-support if the support is deemed "futile". Or was it "feudal" that my hubby was saying? ;) He seemed to link "futile" and "not being able to pay".
Now I don't know if any of this is true, so I can't say that my reaction is entirely fair.
But if it is true, anyone wanna guess name of the gov. at the time?
