so, if you're brain dead, you must live, but if you're poor, you must die

Woman's death highlights health insurance crisis
A family has gathered to mourn a woman gone too soon.

Tirhas Habtegiris was an East African immigrant and only 27 when she died Monday afternoon.

She'd been on a respirator at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano for 25 days.

"They handed me this letter on December 1st. and they said, we're going to give you 10 days so on the 11th day, we're going to pull it out," said her brother Daniel Salvi.

Unreal! So, a brain-dead woman become a radical right-wing cause because she wanted to die with dignity, but this woman is murdered because she can't afford the payments?!
