Samsung and Congress.
I am amazed at the lax labour law in the US. That doesn't sound like what you should find in a civilised country.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Re: I'm Angry. Who Deserves My Wrath?
Originally posted by SlowwHand
My daughter, Summer, has a boyfriend of 7 years or so named Luke. Luke had worked the last couple of years as a temporary tech at Samsung.
Being a temporary, he has no insurance, and they live in a more rural county north of Dallas, with no county hospital to speak of.
So here's the deal. He had one of his boys removed. He had to shop around for something he could afford.
Now he was diagnosed with what they think is a "not so bad" cancer in his lower lung. He can't get chemo. See above.
So I told him to go to Dallas county hospital, and give this address. That way he can be treated.
So who do I direct my anger and frustration?
I think to work anyone as a temp over the required 3 month contract without hiring is ethically bankrupt.
As far as medical facilities, this is what makes me think America needs socialized medicine.
With businesses abusing temps, and medical needs being unavailable to all, people like Luke get a royal ass screwing.
So who? OR both?Speaking of Erith:

You should get mad at people who vote Republican. Had Clinton's healthcare act been passed, he would have insurance.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I really want to understand why anyone would say "both." How is the medical profession to blame here? It's not like they're refusing to treat the guy; they're just charging for their services. I'm sure they don't give a damn who pays them -- the guy, his insurer, the government, whoever. His failure to be able to pay, though, is teh fault of his cheap-ass employer (business), the evil, evil health insurance companies (business), and a feckless Congress that won't do anything about the sorry state of US health care."I have as much authority as the pope.
