He's a typical rightard.

When you're in trouble... It's your fault and you don't deserve any
help.

When he's in trouble... Hey... We're all in this together.

That paradigm holds true from the lowliest rightard right up to the
top rightards on Wall Street.

High-tech hospital emergency units degenerated into local free medical
offices. In California, for instance, between 1993 and 2003, 60
hospitals closed because of over 50% of unpaid services, and another
24 California hospitals closed in 2004. Even ambulances from Mexico
come to Emergency Rooms with indigents because the drivers know that
EMTALA requires accepting patients who come within 250 yards of a
hospital. That geographic limit has figured in many lawsuits.[11],[12]
