This man, James Verone, robbed a bank for one dollar. Why only one dollar? Because he knew that in prison he could get the medical care he could not afford with his part time salary as a convenience store clerk. He was approved for food stamps, but they did little to help his finances. Between his back problems, carpel tunnel, and arthritis, he simply couldn’t handle the pain any longer.
On June 9th, he sent a letter to his local paper, the Gaston Gazette, that stated: “When you receive this a bank robbery will have been committed by me. this robbery is being committed by me for one dollar. I am of sound mind but not so much sound body.”
He then took a cab to the RBC Bank, and handed the teller a note asking for one dollar and medical attention. He quietly took a seat in the lobby and waited for police to arrive.
Since Verone only stole one dollar, he was only charged with larceny. His bail, which he doesn’t plan to pay is set at $2,000, reduced from the normal $100,000. He’s scheduled to see a doctor this Friday, and hopes to get foot surgery, back surgery and to have a protrusion on his check treated.
To me, this is the perfect example of how disturbingly corrupt and unjust our health care system has become under HMO’s. For this man, or any person for that matter, feels that he needs to be imprisoned just to see a doctor, is ridiculous.
This is exactly what I hate about America. Why is it that you can buy an entire house with money you don’t have, but still can’t apply for health care if you don’t meet the requirements? That’s messed up.
This is what sick people in America are resorting to. But BEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD, right guys?
I live in a third world country and we have free healthcare
but yeah, USA is the greatest country in the world
This is for the people who believed our healthcare system was great before Obama, and for the people who think it became all peachy after Obama care. It was fucked up before Obama and it still is. The original bill Obama had was pretty good but then Obama let the Republicans water down the bill so that the bill would seem “Bipartisan”. But of course they didn’t budge and Obama catered to them, and because of this Obama ended up cutting off a lot of good parts to the bill to please Republicans in hopes that they’d vote for the bill, did they? No. Did we need their votes? Nope, Democrats had the majority in both the House and Senate during this time. The Republicans watered it down so much that there was little change to our healthcare system. We still suck at taking care of our people.
