They couldn't care for themselves before the surgery. They had the surgery due to personal neglect. If they can't care for themselves after either, it seems like we should just eliminate the middleman and leave them to rot. This is such a perfect example of the free market trying to do the right thing and being thwarted by socialism. Eighteen private health facilities rejected him, EIGHTEEN, but the socialised hospital was forced to keep him stored on a taxpayer-funded bed for months. He will pay for none of it. He should have, firstly, been denied surgery in the first place by a private hospital or been unable to afford it, and secondly, been discharged to his damn home and left to fend for himself, not kept cozy taking space from people in need. Nature has been trying to kill this man for years and we keep intervening, hilariously, at the expense of people who deserve to live and aren't burdens.
