“-Daniel V. Jones, a cancer and HIV-positive patient apparently frustrated over his inadequate HMO coverage, ended a live televised stand-off with police by shooting himself in the face with a shotgun. The event, which took place on a Thursday afternoon, was witnessed by many children whose after-school cartoons had been interrupted in order to broadcast the incident which originally began as a high-speed pursuit.”

Reports say he had his dog in the car. That's the one thing about this that pangs me the most - and the other thing that most Americans don't think about is 99% of the countries in the world have government paid for health care - and it's only in the USA (and about 2 other countries) where you will go bankrupt because of a hospital stay.
The insurance companies have brainwashed most Americans to totally believe that the American health care system is the best in the world. There are MANY other countries that have MANY aspects of health care that are better than the USA.
