My mom was illegally arrested during a heart attack at a hospital (failed to show her ID but was not coherant enough to understand the cosquences of her actions due to her heart attack) she was never read or given miranda rights...taken to jail and she was denied any and all medical care...when ever she was almost asleep after the chest pains started to slow down...the guard would kick her door. She was never fed for the whole time she was there, nearly 22 hours. She was never finger printed, never booked and had I not found out where she was, she would have died and no one would have known what happened to her. Yes this happened in the US and we are born and bred US citizens, no this was not Obama's america...it happened in 2006.
And people wonder why I am paranoid of our govt.

Sometimes even getting arrested wont get you health care, even when you DO have health insurance.

The way your mom was treated was truly wretched and horrifying. Did she sue the s**t out them?
