Planned Parenthood, Teacher's Union, and the ACLU form strange alliances.

One of the reasons that the elderly can be "offed" by denial of service from an ER is the relatively low compensation that wrongful death and medical malpractice suits can generate. It's not the only reason, but it is one big reason in many states, including California, which has one of the lowest caps on lawsuit awards for those who believe they have been a victim of medical malpractice or the wrongful death of a loved one.

It was to DailyPUMA's surprise to discover that Planned Parenthood, The Teacher's union in California, and the ACLU were all OPPOSED to a ballot measure that simply would have allowed a 35 year old California cap on Medical Malpractice awards to keep up with inflation.

Apparently the right to choose now extends to the right for an ER to choose who gets treated and who does not when it comes to the elderly, and Planned Parenthood, The Teachers union and the ACLU are ok with that. 

This type of political single mindedness by supposed stalwart democrat groups who should have just stayed on the sidelines and kept quiet are why I believe it is demonic to hate either political party as if they are cause of all ills. If you believe that either party is the devil, get help.

If DailyPUMA has to spell it out for you its probably this simple. Planned Parenthood does not want the 40 year old  250,000 dollar medical malpractice cap raised because it could adversely affect doctors who perform abortions. So the price some of us may one day pay is to see a senior who still wanted to live and still had reasons to live, simply not treated by an ER because the ER knows that even though they are violating the law the worst that may happen is they get a fine, but no lawsuit.
