What a SAD ASS country we live in. The bastards at the helm would rather swing the immigration door wide open, costing the country billions, possibly trillions of dollar$ instead of taking care of the people who put their ass on the line to keep it safe.
SHAME ON THEM.
The hospital was preparing his discharge papers because he couldn’t pay for the surgery.

Thomas, an 82-year-old Vietnam veteran, had survived the war, but he was losing his battle with the healthcare system.
He lived alone on a fixed income, and when his heart began to fail, his insurance denied the critical procedure he needed.

SHAME ON THEM
