A Portland family is fighting for the life of their baby boy, who needs a heart transplant or will die. This was sad the baby didn't even get to start his life before it ends you would think that hospitals would be rushing to help this baby NOT there is a 1.5 million dollar price tag on the heart he needs, Rejected by the hospitals that could save his life, 10-week-old Laith Dougherty can't even get on a waiting list for a new heart.
Laith was born early and initially needed help breathing and for other complications. But his mother said he went home after eight days and seemed healthy until they noticed weeks later that he did not seem to be eating as much as he should. Further tests eventually revealed the baby had a congenital heart defect. Doctors told the family the baby's heart is too weak for surgery and the only option for survival is a heart transplant. The parents do have health insurance but it doesn't cover transplants. This story,when heard on the news was hard to hear. I have eight nieces and nephews and many little cousins i would hate to have to see them suffer. I don't know why the insurance company can't bend there plan or add it to there plan. people now a days make me mad because they get mad when females have abortions or give there kids up but isn't that what the hospital and the insurance company is doing they are killing a human being that has done nothing wrong . All they are worried about is there money but they would not like it if someone didn't do all they could to save there child. This is just like the the movie JOHN Q i m in some type of problem because my knee as you may know needs to get better but for it to get fixed i need to get an MRI now that i don't have insurance( because it didn't come through yet) my mom has to pay 1200 dollars for it. i don't understand why these things cost so much . people say that money is not everything but i disagree because if my mom didn't have that money i would be hurting and my knee would get worse and with out this 1.5 mill this baby will die and an innocent life will be taken but the doctors and insurance company don't see that. i think life is a beautiful thing and if the doctors let this baby die it is as bad as pulling the trigger of a gun. i hope the best for this mother and the family i hope that the parents don't have to decide how to kill there child or have to bury their child because i believe the child is supposed to bury the parents I WISH THE BEST FOR THE FAMILY:(
