Selling lemonade to save your mother's life? That's American healthcare for you | Jamie Peck
Some think the story of an 11-year-old desperately raising money on weekends is ‘heart-warming’. It’s really an indictment of all that is wrong with the US
When 11-year-old Nemiah Martinez of Las Cruces, New Mexico, found out her mom needed money to help her get a kidney and pancreas transplant, she didn’t waste time feeling sorry for herself. She got off her 11-year-old behind, pulled herself up by her Dora the Explorer shoelaces, and opened a lemonade stand.
To date, she’s raised over $1,000 for her mom’s care by selling drinks out of her family’s garage every weekend for $1.50 a pop. Now, with any luck, this resourceful little girl might still have a mother by the time she graduates from high school. “I’m the lucky one,” Nemiah’s mom, Paloma, told ABC News.
ABC News portrayed Nemiah’s plight as a feelgood human interest story. One radio show called the story “heartwarming”. We should call it what it really is: a damning indictment of everything that’s wrong with America.

Amazing how all the stories about this are so busy pointing fingers of blame at "American healthcare" for not - presumably - simply giving away transplants for free, not a damned one of them bothers to mention why it is that this lady didn't make provisions for her own healthcare.
Curious.
U.S. spent $35 billion on foreign economic aid last year. The $5.9 billion for military funding represents 17% of the roughly $35 billion the U.S. spent on foreign aid in 2014, according to the report.Nov 11, 2015"Yet your link gives no national comparisons. Strange.Based on the amount of money we give away to the world your assertion is laughable. No nation on EARTH, in all of mans history has ever been more generous than the USA.
Oh look, it was the usual mindless USA, USA, USA chant....
In 2013, the UK joined a select group of countries that had reached the target of donating 0.7% of their national income on foreign aid. Of the 29 members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC), only Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Luxembourg spent more than 0.7% of their national income in foreign aid in 2013.

Pitiful attempt to deflect.Now that the story is out, I wonder how long before some schmuck turns her in for having a business without a license and the health department shuts her down.

So ObamaCare was a total failure and waste of our tax money?
