1. Stories like that make me ill. How can we let people die in excruciating pain?

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.
