Except he won't get medical attention in a city/county jail until he is near comatose.

Maybe in federal prison he would only get the bare necessities and certainly not anything serious to deal with pain.

Plus as a felon you just gave up a whole bunch of rights you took for granted.

It's far from ideal but if he was willing to go this far he should have sought a city with a medical college and teaching hospital. There would still be a bunch of hassle and compromise but it has to be better than being at the mercy of the city/state's apathy while you are locked in a 6x8 cell.

I cannot believe we are nearly three years into the big insurance reform (remember when it was going to be healthcare reform?) and yet the changes are meaningless for most people. I think we need to keep changing "leadership" every election year until the politicians get the point.
