This story documents an extreme medical situation and focuses on the moral argument for universal quality healthcare -- as well as Congress's willingness to focus on such an issue for a period of time in the 1970s. Some of the cost numbers appear to be "back of the envelope" calculations but that doesn't detract from the point being made.
