What happens when a poor person has cancer? The same thing that happens when a middle-class person has cancer. I'm very sorry you're so unaware of the health care structure already in place in this country to take care of the poor and indigent. Perhaps if all you bleeding-heart do-gooders sobbing and wringing your hands in your nice houses over leftists claims that the poor are dying in the gutters in droves actually went out and became acquainted with some of them, you might have a clearer picture of what's REALLY going on in America.
This is a serious question and you still have not answered the question. You have instead chosen to engage in ad hominem attacks. So I will ask again, what happens to a poor person when they need treatment for cancer?
See, I'm a middle class person and I pay for insurance, plus I have more insurance which allows me to travel by helicopter to the MD Anderson clinic if need be. Are you saying that poor people can travel by helicopter to the MD Anderson clinic too? If I get cancer, I can get treatment and my insurer will pay for it. How does a poor person get treated for cancer if they have no insurance? Its not the same as me, a middle class person.
