Thanks again for this look at these efforts that some may see as well-meaning but, in reality, only exacerbate the underlying problems in our society. This is a bandage and splint treatment on an internal condition - it looks good on the façade for the politicians, but we're still being eaten away from within. The concept that a judge can order care that is not available for the person in need has a legendary level of Marie Antoinette audacity.

Thank you for dissecting this. I’m a native Californian, TX Transplant. I’ve seen first hand how the nanny state has decimated the poor and minorities. I had to move out of there to protect my kids from becoming future wards of a police state, hell bent on criminalizing all black people.

I watched the TV show For Life recently, then I watched Alec’s speech on Daily Show. Quite shocked about those facts. I care about the individuals’ life more about aggregate numbers. Aggregate numbers only matter to certain levels of people in power. People in the dark have nothing to do with the numbers.

Thank you Alec for fighting for this. You are a good person from the show I can tell. I will keep my eyes on this.
