New policy position: Cops will ignore the lemonade stands of the sick and dying, for a bit. Are we not magnanimous.

A little girl shouldn't have to work to get herself brain surgery. How is any of that heartwarming.

this is capitalism incarnate and it must be stopped before it decimates everyone we love via climate change. leverage capitalism as a rocket booster to Star Trek for all.

We must never let it become like the movie Elysium.

Well first point is yes, it's a shame she has to go through such lengths to get the help she needs, when she's supposed to be a kid that can be taken care of.

But second point is, this must be very fulfilling for her. Good on her if she enjoyed it and felt rightfully accomplished. Don't cast an overbearing shadow on this feat.

She only has to pay $10,000 + the cost of travel. Thats still a lot of money but the insurance is covering almost all of it. Shes also getting the best care in the world.

Nobody is going to shame the little girl at all. It's a shame that she's even in a position where she has to raise money for her own surgery.

props to the little girl, but children shouldn't have to pay for expensive life saving medical care in developed nations.

she already had her surgery and is recovering, but it's sad she had such a bleak outlook at that young an age

Liza Scott's surgery at Boston Children's Hospital was 'uneventful' and she was alert and talking in the recovery room afterward.

tbh, I never pay attention to what the TC posts since all he does is troll, but unfortunately, there are people who are against making healthcare more affordable, and would be like, "see, even a little girl is able to pay for her surgery, what's your excuse"

It was almost surreal how the reporter presented the story in such a positive tone. Though that link doesn't seem to have the segment I'm referring to.
