| ▲ | cjcole an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Nov 16 Update: Rebecca Heineman - Organizer It’s time. According to my doctors. All further treatments are pointless. So, please donate so my kids can create a funeral worthy of my keyboard, Pixelbreaker! So I can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my one true love, Jennell Jaquays. My daughter Cynthia Elizabeth Heineman, will be making the arrangements | | | |

| ▲ | TkTech an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | I hate every part of this. The pain and suffering and the struggle for money that family had to go through because the richest country on Earth can't be bothered to provide for its citizens. Rebecca should not have had to use a damn gofundme to get health care while struggling with cancer. Her family should not have been forced to publicize her care in the desperate hope that strangers might help her live. Utterly inhuman. RIP Rebecca. | | |
| ▲ | rayiner 36 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | It’s a very sad situation, but she had an aggressive cancer that killed her in a matter of weeks. In Germany the healthcare option that would have been offered is hospice care. (Source: family friend runs a hospice facility in Germany and it’s much more common than in the U.S.) I doubt any other socialized healthcare system would have responded differently. | |

| ▲ | TkTech 40 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Is this supposed to be a rebuttal? It's inability to provide for its citizens while spending the most is proof that its model for health care is an utter, abject failure. That money is going to incredible private profits, not the citizens. | | |
| ▲ | fsckboy 12 minutes ago | parent [-] | | was what I was responding to supposed to be a constructive suggestion? >It's inability to provide for its citizens provide some evidence, and also the counter evidence that shows that other countries don't leave people waiting for important procedures. I don't claim to have the answers, but I will claim that you and GP for sure don't, I don't even think you are in possession of any facts. |
