Yikes. I’m usually the cynic who grumbles when a drunk gets a liver transplant (FYI a Highschool Buddy of mine is waiting for a liver as a result of a hepatitis infection he contracted) but this guy was only 22, hadn’t been in the hospital before, and was enrolled in AA.
I’d imagine that he would have had a good shot living to a ripe age had he gotten treatment.
Yes, because cases of health care decisions we don’t like are compelling reasons not to support universal health care, whereas cases of people doing bad things with guns have absolutely no relevance whatsoever to the gun debate. Double-standard often?
