Sixty-nine-year-old Wladyslaw Haniszewski had lived in the U.S. for about 30 years. But when the New Jersey resident fell into a coma he awoke to find himself in his native country of Poland.

So is spacial migration.

I'm glad the US didn't have to pay for him then.

I'd prefer to be repatriated to the country of my citizenship were I to be sick in another country. For the most part, I'd guess that these people are in this country illegally. So, they get sick here, and we do the kindness of sending them home. I see no issue.
Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.

On the other hand, if they are US citizens - I'd be expecting a law suit.

"“The individual was informed regarding his discharge plan and care,” said hospital spokesman Peter Haigney. “As the hospital's understanding of the facts differs from the published reports, we are conducting a thorough review of the procedures and communications surrounding this gentleman's care.”"

Whether it's true or not, I love the image of a guy in a suit reading a prepared statement to a guy unconscious in bed so he can tick the boxes to say it's all been done by the book. Makes you wonder if they'd stick a pen between his fingers and wave his hand over a form for a signature:P
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

This is the same situation that caused the EMTALA decision in the 1980's. Hospitals have to recover costs somehow. They are very high for long-term comatose patients.

Other patients, with insurance, can help to cover this. Taxpayers can help to cover this. We can have a single-payer plan to cover this. Or we can repatriate to home countries -- it's cheaper than paying for nursing home care, and most likely kinder than finding the cheapest, shittiest nursing home, or sending him back to the shelter (as a comatose patient, that is).

It's not the suckiest in a bunch of sucky choices.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
