Can't believe we even have to ask that question.

And, the same cretins that allow this, are against euthanasia.

Fortunately, Medicaid in a lot of states will cover adults with high medical expenses, even without Medicaid expansion. But, not sure how the father's green card status affected this. But still, to think of the pain and sickness he went through and his family trying their best to help. I've had a few family members with cancer, etc. It's an ugly picture even when you have good insurance.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
