He got good medical care because he had good insurance and a doctor that cared.
Exactly. That's not a universal constant.
I'm sorry about your grandfather. His situation has no bearing on this discussion, however. He got the care he needed.

Neither one of them ever got upset with the service they received. Sometimes we have to fight for what's due, but that's not a big deal when you have family that's willing to help out.
That woman's family is the ones that need to be taking care of her now. Not the State. It is not the State's job.
You assume her family is in a position to do so. Seeing as it was her stepfather that did it, it's quite likely her family is unwilling or unable.
I don't think it's the "State's" job. It's our job. How do we act in such cases? Through the State.
Or not at all, because we're a bunch of monkeys.
So when was the last time a Tomahawk missile hit an Iraqi office building? 2003? It's been 5 years, give it a rest.
And the budget deficit it's caused will be with us for quite some time to come. Think forward, not backward.
Maybe you should stick to tweaking the forums instead of poking your nose into things you don't know much about (like what some of us have been through).
Talk to me again when you've been molested and impregnated by your stepfather.
We've all been through shit. Wake up.
