...kept alive by a system that didn't care enough to learn his name
While it is ridiculous to me that they didn't do a simple fingerprint check, it's kinda strange to use this language and then go on to tell how the "system" has provided round the clock care for over a decade costing millions of dollars. The system seems to care. I'm sure on the BP side they are just overwhelmed and don't have the manpower to run something like this down.
- rconti 7y agoAgreed. I'm proud of the "system" for choosing to keep him alive. My wife works in a county hospital here in CA, and I'm proud of the great work they do to save the lives, every day, of the 'illegal' immigrants, of the indigent, of the homeless, of prisoners.
- aquadrop 7y agoI'm not sure about system's motivation though. There are 2 "systems" - the one which pays and the other one, which receives the payment for the care, and this one probably wants him alive for as long as possible. They mentioned it cost 4 million, it's around 20k a month. For a person that takes up one bed in a corner of a room densely filled with people like him. Ignacio would be lucky to earn 2k per month from back-breaking labor if the incident didn't happen, and yet now he generates much larger amount for the system just laying on the bed.
