Thank goodness her freeloader parents weren't burdened with that awful sotgwpdt medical coverage stuff! Who knows what would have happened then...

A little girl has to wait for treatment, which ends up causing the amputation of both of her feet and one of her hands.
"Franzon (one of the child's doctors) said it is unclear whether immediate emergency care would have prevented amputation of her limbs"
Gee, I bet I could take a stab at guessing whether or not it would have made a difference...let me think...
But a series of surgical procedures have been successful and, with prosthetics and rehabilitation, Malyia should "be able to do whatever she wants to do" in life, Franzon said.
Well, sure, she can "do whatever she wants to do" in life, except for stuff like, I dunno, walking and using both hands?
"While Malyia's parents have medical insurance, many of their daughter's bills will go uncovered, including a $26,000 tab for her helicopter ride from Sacramento to Palo Alto, Jeffers said. The couple are paying just $10 a day to stay at the Ronald McDonald House, but must cover their food and transportation costs."
Oh sure, so after all this they can't pay the bill. Damn those poor people without healthcare!! Why can't they just be rich, like they're supposed to be??
