MODERATORS
This would be enough to "radicalize me", but I don't think it's all that radical to be against a system that treats people this way.
That's the point, we're not living a neutral situation, we're under attack by bad people doing disgusting jobs
Someone phone Luigi.
He was dying. This would likely have given him more time but not stopped him from dying in the near future. To an insurance company, these results are the same except that the latter case costs them more money.
You are also dying in the future. So no treatment for you. It's even cheaper the sooner you die. And since you don't need money after you've died, lets make your last days so expensive that we can extract all the money from you and if possible from the rest of your family. Profit.
They're really tryna create another Luigi aren't they?
It was unlikely the proposed treatment would have sent Tennant into full remission, but the family believed it could have bought him some more time.
Does an actual doctor believe that too?
We don't have infinite resources to spend on treatment that won't actually help.
This is a slop article. No actual info on success chances, prior treatments etc.
Death panels by any other name wouldn’t be so bleak.
