Has anybody heard about this?

It's a rather disturbing editorial about Tirhas Habtegiris, who died last month because her bill for her hospital stay was unpaid (essentially).

I'm sure I heard about this somewhere before, but I must've blocked it from my mind. I only found it link-hopping today.

Any the people who were screaming their heads off over Schiavo are quiet on this because ...?

Definitely wasn't. Most of the articles I've read indicated she only wanted to stay alive long enough for her mom to come over from Africa to say goodbye.
