Private Insurance Death Panel
April 24, 2011
It is hard to imagine the tragedy that could occur if Scott Poole, a young man with ALS and recently married in 2006 finds that he would be faced with death because his COBRA insurance runs out. Welcome to the American health care system! You can read about how Scott came to the attention of Health Care for All Pennsylvania, which incidentally, would not allow a single payer plan to simply end someone’s life. There is a PayPal site which is trying to raise the $160,000 needed to maintain Scott’s existence. So far it has raised $200.
