Texas Death Panel Fights To Remove Coherent Patient From Life Support

Now remember, Dunn is currently uninsured. And the “patient advocate” who was helping Dunn apply for emergency Medicaid before TADA was invoked told Evelyn that getting the necessary paperwork to send in the Medicaid application should be her “number one priority- and nothing else.”

Evelyn says she argued, “My number one priority is laying down the hallway in bed number [redacted for privacy]. Why are you so on fire about this?”

The hospital employee’s response is a tell-all.

“Well, the reason I’m so concerned about this is because Methodist Hospital has to get paid, Ms. Kelly.”

So much for death panels being a ridiculous political scare tactic. The hospital’s priorities are painfully clear- their main concern is not for the patient’s life, but how they will get paid instead.

So they are upset that someone is being left to die because they have no health insurance. Hello? Do you understand now?
