Life in the USA: Hospital dumps injured, possibly mentally ill woman outside, practically naked in winter.
The fruits of our wonderful Free Enterprise system in full display.
Part 1—Hospital dumps woman on the street
PT. 2—AFTERMATH
Publicity forces the hospital to react and lay some p.r. manure to deflect further criticism.
Media soon drops the subject, as expected.
But incidents like this will persist and probably multiply as the remnants of the public healthcare system suffer further blows by the bipartisan servants of the plutocracy. The problem is systemic—the US has no democracy— and capitalism, true to its immoral dynamic, continues to eviscerate any and all resources that might offer a refuge for the economically distressed.

Parting shot—a word from the editors
The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
