(12,723 posts)Yeah they call him self-centered for caring about his wife. My wife almost died a few years ago and I would have and did do every thing I could to save her. She could keep no food down. The doctors here kept trying to tie it to another condition she has. We finally had to send her to Switzerland to find a competent doctor who diagnosed her condition correctly within ten minutes of seeing her. It is a rare condition that screwed up her esophagus. There is a simple surgical procedure she underwent back here. She weighed about ninety pounds by the time she was fixed. Fortunately she was a little overweight when it began and she had begun supplementing her food with nutritionally packed liquids just to keep her alive.
I was fortunate that she has sisters living in Europe who helped. It only cost about 250 dollars for the doctor visit and diagnosis because no motherfucking insurance companies had their greedy shit-covered fingers stuck in the pie.
Probably shared a little too much but the point I wanted to make was god damn it when your loved ones are dying the rest of the world hardly matters. To call someone self-centered for that is bullshit.
ACA is an improvement but healthcare insurance will always be an obscenity to me.
