Bush signed law to pull plug on poor patients |
Bush signed law to pull plug on poor patients
In 1999 George W. Bush signed a law which allowed hospitals to withdraw
life support from patients, over the objections of the family.
A patient's inability to pay for medical care combined with a prognosis
that renders further care futile are two reasons a hospital might
suggest cutting off life support...
"When the hospital is really correct and the care is futile ... you're
not going to find many hospitals or long-term acute care facilities
(that) want to take that case," the spokesman said. "Any facility
that's going to be receiving a patient in that condition ... is going
to want to be paid for it, of course."
