A Carbon County, PA inmate was feared to have a heart attack and was flown by helicopter to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown.

''We have people in our county home who, when they don't have anything left, their homes are attached,'' Getz said. ''But we have to take care of these prisoners like they're little babies.''<BR><BR> Excuse me, Charlie, but this is just the type of mentality that is so common among politicians towards prisoners. The next thing that we know, they'll be using the bully pulpit to get such a law to stick inmates with gigantic medical bills, against people who they know are about as able to fight back as children. This proposal must not go unchallenged. First of all, it begs the question of why the bill was so high. Since it had a 60% reduction, the original bill was almost $110,000! The mentality of the Carbon County Commissioners lets the system off the hook. This wouldn't even be an issue if we had a national health-care system, but no, the medical industry wants to preserve the status quo so that it can continue to make obscene profits.<BR><BR> When will the politicians get it that you can't take blood from a stone? They have enough trouble collecting room and board charges that can quickly add up to thousands of dollars, so how would they expect to collect medical bills of tens of thousands? If I wanted to pay to be treated like shit, I know a local woman who is a part-time dominatrix. Many of the inmates wound up where they are in the first place since they had no money, but the politicians want to keep piling up layers of fines, costs, and fees. These policies are much more effective at destroying defendants' credit than collecting thousands of dollars. The way that this matter is being handled makes ME livid. The inmate in question had seizures, which are serious in their own right. <BR><BR><DIV align="right"><i>BDH</i> &nbsp; </div> <BLOCKQUOTE><i> Thanks for sending this. Like you say, national health care will make this matter moot. But until then 'd like to scream with you at the politician who's grandstanding here, one Charles Getz. When a person is incarcerated the county (or state or federal government) is responsible for that person's health and well-being -- obviously, inarguably, and period. Getz is of course a vile bastard, but I'd add that kudos are due the guards for getting the inmate the prompt medical attention he needed. I've read recurring and not all that rare horror stories from other jails and prisons (<A HREF="http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090112/METRO01/901120321/1409/METRO">like this
