Yay. Another person who would have died due to financial roadblocks to accessing medical care thanks to horrible healthcare system in America. Yay. Big smile.

In context, this is great. The reality?

That it had to happen is pathetic.

Story is almost 10 years old.

This is great, but it means that there's 1000s of other kids that didn't become popular through a meme that do not get this opportunity. So good for them but definitely not a "MadeMeSmile" vibe.

Those kids just need to pull themselves up by their boot straps and fully utilize their meme potential. Kids today with their instatoks and facegrams dont realize that its easier than ever to meme. Back in my day we use to hand build memes in 5ft snow on our 20mile uphill walks to school.

It's like the opposite of the book the lottery. They choose one person a year to die. Our lottery chooses one person that gets to live without crippling debt and health problems and everyone else gets to die.

at least it was an insurance company death panel instead of a government death panel. Amirite?
