    I don’t care that he’s a veteran. I don’t care about his income.

    The headline “Person denied cancer treatment” should never be a headline. Ever.

      Well yeah, but that’s not how for-profit healthcare works. Do you know how expensive is to keep these people alive when they could just die and save the system a ton of money? Who’s gonna think of the profits?!
