This news article is too short. Yesterday, Das Squirrel share a similar news article which had a paragraph mentioning the uncertainty if the PG&E customer had signed up for the Medical Baseline Allowance.
Now we should ask ourselves: Was patient under the care of a ‘free’ healthcare insurance or not? I recall long ago that a sleep and neurological told us to sign up. She didn’t accept those ‘free’ stuff. I’m assuming that the customer had a doctor who took ‘free’ stuff.
With that said, the HUGE company should NOT be blamed for the death of one customer. The customer should have decided or at least have signed up to ensure that the power would NOT be cut off. That is probably his fault.
I recall a while ago that a PCP told us that it’s unfortunate that a small percentage of a population who get an allergic reaction and/or die from vaccinations, for example. Likewise, the death of that one patient should NOT be representative of the general population who are assumed to be intelligent enough to know about stuff.
Yup.
