Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What I don't get is, ok, she had 10 days to find another facility to put the baby. How could other hospitals turn her away? Her baby needed that ventilator - it was a matter of life or death - how could they legally turn her and her son away?
Those other hospitals agreed with the first one that further treatment was pointless. I don't think the race issue is really relevant, although I suspect the economics come into play.

They don't have to provide futile care if the person wanting it can't pay for it.
Well, I think the race issue points more towards the lack of media attention, myself.

Gus is tallest. Who's second-tallest? Is it 6' 3" me? I was thinking there was someone else taller than me besides Gus.
Although he's not officially a Buffista, Brendon taller than you, Tom.
Here's a Chronicle story about the issue:
It talks a little more about the background behind the law and behind that specific case.
On the credit card rewards front, I have a Capital One preferred something or other that gives me rewards. The thing I like about it is that, in addition to standard rewards that most cards give, I can also get things like a reduction in my interest rate. Or a payment towards my outstanding balance.

I got a $200 dollar check to use at Costco for my rebate.
RE: The Texas Law and the big steaming pile of crap the congress passed.
I pretty much have Jon Stewart's reaction- screaming at the top of my lungs.
