肥叔叔

美國福利好得，若你沒有能力負擔醫藥費，把患病親人殺了，也是選擇之一。若然因沒法買藥物來為長期病患者止痛，又不忍心看著病人受長期痛苦，無奈地這可能是唯一選擇。

在美國，你經常聽到，人們要決定用錢來交電費或用來買藥物，好使生存下去。

86歳Hager先生，致電911，然後帶領警員，走進臥室。78歲的Hager太太，頭部中槍，被床單覆蓋，躺在睡床上。

Hager太太患有嚴重關節炎15年之久，長期受病魔痛苦煎熬。她一早想結束自己生命，不過從來沒有要求先生協助。

Hager 先生2011年破了産，實在沒法再負擔購買藥物的費用。86歲的老人家，嘗試在百貨公司工作，來支付醫藥費。但還是不足夠，結果.........。

其實當地有志願服務可以提供協助。

美國退休人士協會指出，從2006年開始至2011年，藥物的價錢上漲一陪。平均老年人每年藥物開支，由2006年5571美元（43454港元），上漲致2011年11341美元（88460港元）。

Hager 被捕及不准保釋。

⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

在這些時間，遇到一些網友，吹虛美國福利有多好。香港的比不上。真是井底，幻想的天空總是美麗的。

在香港政府公立醫院，三個月的同一種藥物供應，每種10蚊。一年40蚊。

香港在這一方面，確實比美國好上千倍。

沒有醫療保障的民主自由人權公義，你要嗎？

美國號稱民主強國，但老人家晚年可以活得一點尊嚴也沒有。

“These stories you hear from quite many people, that they actually decide whether they are going to pay the electric bill this month or buy the drug that may be keeping them alive,” said Andrew Passeri, Executive Director at Hands of St. Lucie County.

An elderly man fatally shot his sick wife while she slept because he couldn’t afford her medication, according to police officials in Florida. His wife had been ill for 15 years.
William Hager was arrested after he called the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with first-degree murder on Wednesday.

Deputies said that Hager, 86, called 911 to report a verbal dispute on Monday. When an investigator arrived, he led them to a bedroom where the body of his 78-year-old wife, Carolyn Hager, was laying on the bed covered by a blanket with a bullet wound to the head.

He told them she had been ill, but they couldn’t afford medicine, according to arrest report.

“I want to apologize I didn’t call earlier, I wanted to tell my kids what happened first,” detectives quoted him as saying, according to WPTV.

The shooting happened on Monday morning at around 7:30 am. Hager told detectives that he had been contemplating shooting her for days because she was in pain. He said she had wanted to die, but never asked him to kill her.

At a press conference on Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said Carolyn Hager had been ill and suffering for around 15 years.

“Obviously based on our conversations it was very personal to Mr. Hager,” said Chief Deputy Garry Wilson, according to WPBF. “He felt he was at a point where this was his only course of action.”

Deputies said his wife had been suffering from severe arthritis and other health issues. Information about the medications she was using was not released because of HIPPA confidentiality.

Records show the Hagers filed for bankruptcy in 2011.

Staff at the Hands of St. Lucie County Clinic, which helps people whose insurance won’t cover necessary medications, told WPTV it was a tragic situation.

“These stories you hear from quite many people, that they actually decide whether they are going to pay the electric bill this month or buy the drug that may be keeping them alive,” said Andrew Passeri, Executive Director at Hands of St. Lucie County, according to WPTV.

The police department says William took a job at Sears for a while to try to help pay for the medication.

The American Association of Retired Persons released a report in February showing that the cost of a year’s worth of prescription drugs had doubled, on average, from 2006 to 2013, with price hikes hitting senior citizens the hardest because Social Security benefits are not keeping up.

The average annual cost of prescription drugs widely used by the elderly increased from $5,571 in 2006 to $11,341 in 2013, according to study. That accounts for about three-quarters of average Social Security benefits and 48 percent of the median income for people receiving Medicare benefits, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Hager is being held without bail.
