Mr President we cannot afford your visit.
We had 23 ambulances waiting in line at the Brisbane PA Hospital, many were turned away, patients waiting up to 4.5 hours for help, patients lying on floors; people suffer years of unnecessary agony and cannot get medical treatment and die on waiting lists because of governments failing to adequately fund hospital medical care.
Governments are deliberately complicit in the deaths of these people by neglect; the Health Minister and PM should be charged for aiding these deaths by deliberate contributory negligence in failing to provide adequate funds for prompt and proper medical attention.
Should a child die through neglect and/or failure to provide proper medical attention a prison sentence is applicable; such must apply equally to government ministers. We have a responsibility to act as a Good-Samaritan and to give help to save a life; courts take a serious view of people who fail to provide care, causing death or assist injured or dying victims.
Governments waste $7B a year on illegal immigrants and millions rebuilding burnt buildings, it cost $34M for security for the Pope’s visit; it will cost more for Obama’s visit that we cannot afford, and governments tell us there are no funds for health while they waste billions instead of prioritising the people’s health requirements.
It is acceptable for you or your family to suffer and die while they waste our money big-noting themselves with fancy unnecessary trips, taking partners and entourages at our expense, when they could have used a video link for the same result.
Mr President, we cannot afford the cost of your visit, this money should be going to save lives. By taking this money away from health services many will die. With respect Mr President, please stay home: we need the money for medical care.
Gill May,
Tyalgum
