         There are thousands of people that get sick everyday. They depend on public hospitals to threat them and make them feel better. Most of the time the hospital is packed with so many people that have no money, documents or health care, have to wait to get treated. Since the early 1960's hospitals started to pick people  with money over the people undocumented and the poor ones, when large mental institutions began to close. I believe that more public hospitals should open and threat everyone equally, we don't want another incident like what happened to Esmin Green in "The women who died in the waiting room" by Jeneen Interlandi.
         Daisy is an immigrant in the united states, she has no documents or heath insurance whatsoever. Daisy's daughter Angelique had an asthma attack and daisy immediately rushed her to the hospital. The hospital was packed with people and none of the doctors payed any attention to Angelique because she was uninsured.All Angelique needed was an asthma pump but they denied her that because she didn't have any health insurance and her mom couldn't pay for it. Eventually Angelique died in the waiting room because of the ignorance and neglect of the hospital.
    A bum was found in the streets of New York, half dead. The bum was beaten by a bunch of teenagers that were just looking for trouble. The bum was found laying on the floor covered in blood by a women that was passing by, she immediately called  911 and the ambulance rushed to his aid. When they got to the hospital the bum was put on hold because he was poor and had no way of paying the hospital for making him better. The bum bled in a chair in the waiting room but no one seemed to care about him, eventually the bum died in the waiting room  , waiting to be treated.
This should be allowed to go on any further.What happened to our human rights? should we not receive proper care just because we don't any way of paying it back. Since when did health care become something that you should pay for, it should be free. No one should be denied the right to see a doctor if they are ill.
