New Jersey man falls into coma, wakes up in Poland

3. OFMG, he could have died on that plane. What makes the hospital think Poland would care for him?

Years ago, they were dumpings of indigent patients, unable to fend for themselves, in a 'Skid Row' area of Los Angeles. We still have clowns saying we have the best healthcare system in the world and that anyone can get care for free, especially if they're foreigners.

I don't know if ACA can do anything about someone who is not a citizen, but this needs to get a lot of sunshine and hell raised about it. I'm sure it's not part of the ACA, and that hospitals didn't ask permission for it, either.

The expansion of Medicaid through the ACA should have paid the bills. If Christie refused the expansion, this scandal is on his head.

The practice of hospitals turning people away, despite all propaganda to the contrary and its 'being illegal' does happen, and dumping is not new.
