not if she had an Ins plan.....
Strange. I could have sworn this is why we were told the government had to take over health care. I thought only the "evil" insurance companies did this.
A woman battling a cancer battle was dealt a surprise blow by Uncle Sam this month.
Diana Smith has gone through six months of radiation and chemotherapy -- one week out of every month. She is in remission and had a donor for a transplant; being in remission is prerequisite for the transplant.
But her hopes of receiving the transplant were dashed in March, when she says, the Social Security Administration contacted her without her soliciting it -- and told her that her three year-old son was entitled to receive Social Security disability payments. Even though she didn't ask for it, she signed the form and received her son's first check check.
In April, Medicaid canceled her universal health care policy because her income level had risen with her son's payments making her ineligible for the insurance program.
The problem is Jackson Memorial Hospital cannot provide the procedure because the risk is too high. The universal policy from Medicaid helps shield the hospital from liability in this kind of case. Without it, they are subject to liability issues.
Even though Smith offered to cancel her son's disability benefits, she was told it's too late.
"She's gone through six months worth of radiation and chemo, her body can't take anymore. If they don't allow her to have this transplant coming up right now next week, they're in effect signing her death warrant," said her friend Tom Noonan.

The only reason this woman is alive today and able to complain about the gov't screwing her is b/c the gov't paid for her six months of chemo. If the gov't stayed out of health care like you're saying, she'd already be dead.
not if she had an Ins plan.....but no matter what....the woman got fucked....bottom line...the Govt is and will be just as selective as the private guys....
How do you know that?
Well, tell us how she would of survived these past six months if she couldn't afford the treatment previously?
they didn't terminate her because of the condition. they terminated her because she was no longer financially eligible.
i'd hate to think you were being intentionally misleading. *rolls eyes*

Then don't. I imagine you hate to think, period.

just because the O/P is misleading, don't get caught up in his characterization. she wasn't terminated because of her illness. the only 'selectivity' involved was her income.
I do not believe that SS just up and gave her child benefits.

Sooooooo what if anything is her 'friend' Tom doing to help out other than whine that the guvmint need to do sumtin?
I do not believe that SS just up and gave her child benefits.
According to her, they contacted her out of the blue and told her she qualified for these benefits. She claimed she never made any inquiry about them on her own.
Then don't. I imagine you hate to think, period.
given your fallacious, misleading thread, i don't have to imagine you don't think.
i know for certain.
According to her... Possibly and possibly she went to a help agency and filled out papers and they did it for her.
I just do not believe it happened out of the blue.
Some say that charitable organizations will take care of this type of things and the govt is not needed to help....
I thought the right keeps wanting to cut welfare types of programs anyway?
Now they bitch because it does cut benefits?
Anyone who thinks the govt is a fix all magic bullet is stupid.
