He died because he DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE. People who have insurance see a doctor right away. People without insurance (myself included) don't and try to treat themselves with over-the-counter remedies. He waited until he was in serious condition before he went to the hospital.
you are simply wrong.
my wife has insurance and didn't go to the hospital until the pain was unbearable. she thought she ate some bad chilli. turns out she had pancreatitis and almost died. she ended up spending a month in the hospital.
she hadn't been to the Dr in years. she hates Dr's. she would RATHER just find a home remedy. even though WE HAVE INSURANCE.
insurance is NOT a cure all.
