The State of California is quite broke you know. So the poor people living there, that want and need medical care (and deserve to have)are just not high priority. The State of California prefers to fill the jails and prisons with petty drug charges. Imagine a year locked up for a $20.00 bag of dope, (a felony) at the cost of $30,000.00+ (per inmate) Do you have any idea what good that does?
Remember their "Get tough on crime? How about all the Death Row Inmates? Just supporting them and keeping them alive, (for about 20 years, that is,AFTER being "SENTENCED to Death") Well does any one know the yearly cost of that x 20 years? California would rather do what the rich and beautiful citizens want, and guess what? Those are the same people that can't see the forest, for the trees! I wish they would close that hospital, but that's not the answer. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. And How dare ANYONE to judge or in any way belittle,condemn or even think of with holding any medical care for anybody! Everyone that has the "luxury" of affording quality health care in this country has much to learn! What happened to Ms.Edith Isabel Rodriguez is appalling!
