What about the insurance companies, they can play god by denying payment (often breaking their own rules and contractual obligations). If you don't have the cash, then you die. That article is full of unverified individual testimonies. It's all garbage. The article starts off with the premise that health care costs here are skyrocketing (nonsense). Then they cite the case of an 84 yo man who was apparently denied treatment to "save costs" (more nonsense). They didn't tell the full story on the old man on how close he was to dieing or his chances of recovering. It second-guessed the Dr's opinions. It's a biased and misleading article, by a right wing think tank bent on destroying public healthcare in Canada (which is universal and fine).
