This is the perfect example of a selfish, delusional pahrunt. Keeping her kid alive with no possible hope for a cure, draining taxpayers, and making the child suffer. This shit chaps my ass to no end.
"Emilio's mother, Catarina Gonzales, on the other hand, is fighting to keep her son on the ventilator, allowing him to die "naturally, the way God intended." I didn't realize that ventilator = the way god intended?????
"Emilio is on Medicaid, which usually doesn't pay for all hospital charges. The hospital's spokesman said that he doesn't know how much it's costing the hospital to keep Emilio alive, but that cost was not a consideration in the hospital's decision."
"Gonzales said she'll continue to fight for treatment for her son. "I love my kid so much, I have to fight for him," she said. "That's your job -- you fight for your son or your daughter. You don't let nobody push you around or make decisions for you."
That's right MOO! Because you're not footing the bill, now are you? Nope. You'll wrack up thousands in health care costs not covered by Uncle Sam and dash right back to Me-hee-co!!!!!
And who is footing her legal costs? No duh mentioned, either, not surprisingly. Can she even afford heatlh care for herself, let alone having a kid she cannot afford????? And of course, there is whining in the article that this FAMBLEE is being targeted because they are POOOOOOOOR. Cry me a fucking river.
