I didn't say it was...however, an MI is an emergency, not a routine doctor's appointment. Ambulances don't pick and choose their patients based upon who has insurance. It's now illegal in MA to be uninsured anyway.
Healthcare should be a right anyway-everyone is entitled to try and prolong their life as much as possible. Having lived in a country with free healthcare and one where healthcare is privatized, I've seen both sides of the fence and I can see the need for improvement in both systems.

**Kevin yo do have a point BTW**
or...why didn't (or did she) the nurse refer him to a facility that would probably see him?
It's a messed up situation no matter how u call it but somewhere along the line one has to wonder what could have been done to save this guy's live...

I don't know why the nurse wouldn't call him an ambulance. From hearing all the horror stories of Fallon clinics, I'm not surprised though. The standard of care seems to be low.
