I feel bad for him. I know things are getting to be very bad and if anything there is no sign of improvement either. At least not for a while yet.

Yep, as though I need more depressing news...>.>
I'm just glad my body doesn't get sick/injured often, seeing that I don't even have any insurance. =x
I read the story, I would have just asked his siblings, I'm sure they would have said yes if they knew he was planning to do that. Also jail is too risky, a lot of things can happen in jail...

Seriously though, that IS one hell of a way to deal with a problem at hand, lol. But it's true that it's pretty sad a man has to sink to such a thing just to get some medical care. Most other countries have had universal healthcare systems in place for a long time now, and seem to work quite well. But then that's the probolem isn't it? It works well for the people! The US is not about the people anymore, it's ALL about corporations and money.
Sadly, they will only get worse. Obama's "Health Care Solution" is a joke. It's designed to make sure they can get their money out of EVERYONE. And if you can't get insurance, can't aford it, or such they fine you for it. I fear the "Great" USA has just become another corrupted blood sucking leech that is capable of finding new ways of feeding off it's own people.

I owe thousands in medical bills.
I went to the doctors not too long ago because my hair is falling out drastically. They did nothing but refer me to have another dexa scan for vitamin deficiency or something. $70.. And the scans cost about $200...
My medical insurance took about 20-40 percent of my moms income .___. so I'm not medically insured anymore. Even though I have to go to the doctors a few time every 6 months.

Guys, universal health care isn't the end all be all for things like this. It has its own issues. Just look at Canada, you could end up waiting months for treatment there. Sure it's free but there's also a chance what ever you have could get worse before they see you.
Looks like my country wasn't the only one messed up.
I truly pity the guy, but just like @Zoi Yex said it's not so safe in jail either. - For example, the hygiene is on low level, propely speaking there isn't any at all. There was this one time I read in the newpaper where a 3-months pregnat woman lost the baby because of the jails conditions.

Around here, they just kill the losers in prison and jail. One thing you don't want to be going into jail/prison is a child molester, child killer, ex-cop, and some poor soft shmuck pulling off a stupid crime for stupid reasons. Course, his reasons weren't all that stupid in this case.

Possibility? More like fact. The US government is completely and utterly corrupt. It's all about the money. After all, when was the last time you heard of the government truely giving a rat's you know what about it's people? We have homelessness on the rise, but they haven't done anything to encourage low cost housing? Instead we're paying HUGE salaries to have politicians in office. They want to turn the debt around, cut the salaries of politicians, cut back on weapons developement, and do away with 200+ agencies assigned to spy on US and others when they only need maybe two.
Our government is literally the BIGGEST waste of money IN the United States. Even a quarter cut would mean tons of money freed up to do good for the US. But will it happen? Answer is no.
I bet his butt felt itchy.
Far be it from me to appear to defend politicians, but almost all of them on the national level were independently millionaires before seeking office and spent their own money to get elected. A fair number took pay cuts to be in congress, mostly because compared to the private sector the government plays badly all around.

What is preventing certain states from establishing their own subsidized health care system? Many of them have populations at or above that of a Scandinavian country. They could discriminate in the same way Universities do when determining tuition to deter free riders. The key difference here is that a state, unlike a Scandinavian country, can't print out currency to sustain such a system. You have to take whiteout and ink to the constitution to establish nationwide subsidized health care.

Printing money would lead to a rampant inflation that is not present in Scandinavia. But state-level health care is a good idea, very much how it works in the EU, which doesn't meddle in the health care of it's member nations, but lets them work it out on their own. Also, smaller governments are less wasteful.
