Do not get sick in Texas! You have no right to live, no due process, no appeal, if the hospital death panel decides your quality of life is not worth sustaining.
The Texas statute, section 166.046, has come to light because Chris Dunn, a conscience, communicative patient will have his breathing machine turned off, nutrients cut off and will be administered a dose of morphine and one other drug that will take just three to five minutes to kill him, if his lawyers cannot get the courts to stay this death sentence.
Christopher David Dunn, a former peace officer, as well as a Homeland Security officer, is 46 and on life sustaining machines at Houston Methodist Hospital. He is fully conscience and can communicate by making hand gestures, much like sign language, and nodding his head. When he became sick he had no health insurance. A noncancerous mass was found by his small intestine and pancreas, which is affecting his liver and kidneys. For eight weeks he has been in the hospital.
Follow his story on the next page, as he literally fights for his life, because apparently, without insurance he does not deserve to be helped, it is cheaper to kill him according to Houston Methodist Hospital.
Palin was right Limbaugh was right about death panels! It only gets worse from here.
I watched my son suffer as each of his organs shut down and it’s heart wrenching! I lost him 2 weeks ago. I loved him so much I wanted to stay…but wanted him to go…because until YOU watch your loved one suffering, as he did…until his last breath…you haven’t got a clue!! Don’t judge how a person should choose to die or live.
There has to be more to this story, A hospital will not deliberately kill you to save on a bill
Animals (pets) are given a more compassionate release from pain and terminal illness than is given to suffering humans. It is cruel to force a person to have such a lingering painful suffering death.
Obamacare might
Cancer doesn’t make choices!
Nazi Germany thought the same way
Carol I’m sorry for your loss. Many don’t understand.
Pray for all
So having a place to live or eat supper is a choice?? If i cant eat or have to live on the street because i am paying insurance what good is it?
