SOUTH FULTON, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities say firefighters in a far western Tennessee city let a mobile home burn down because the owner didn't pay a $75 yearly fee for fire protection.

Jeff Vowell, city manager of South Fulton, told the Union City Daily Messenger that the city fire department let Gene Cranick's doublewide trailer home burn last week because he didn't pay the subscription common in many rural areas.

Cranick's home is outside city limits, but South Fulton offers fire protection to nearby residents for a fee and did protect a neighboring house that paid.

Police say Cranick's son was so angry he later went to the fire house and punched the chief.

City officials didn't return calls and a message left at a phone listing for Gene Cranick was not immediately returned.

So, a fire department let three dogs and a cat burn to death because a homeowner forgot to pay a fee.

They allowed a family lose everything they own because of seventy-five dollars. Why couldn't they have have billed him after saving his house and his pets even if it was a penalty amount? This is unacceptable.

Don't we have a moral obligation to help others who are in obvious need?

Since when do we stop being human over money?

One would like to think that human decency, if such a thing still exists, would have prompted the firefighters to rescue any children that could have been trapped in the blaze.

But then again, this was a mobile home park in Tennessee... :(

Well, you'd also think that human decency would prompt a not-for-profit hospital to provide services to low-income people without resorting to putting liens on homes if those individuals can't afford to pay for treatment--but that's not happening, either.

Used to be that way until the huge push for socialized medicine in this country. Forget that it doesn't work in any country that tries it. We used to have the greatest medical care in the world. Trouble is illegals have consumed the safety net that once existed for the poorer citizens of this country. What do you expect when you foolishly give the store away? You can't have everything you want, you know.

And did the illegal aliens hold a gun to the heads of hospital administrators and force them to charge more for the same services to the uninsured than the insured? Did the illegal aliens force these hospital big-wigs to set up off- shore accounts for their tidy profits from their not-for-profit, tax-exempt hospitals. Those are some powerful illegal aliens.

And, of course, it was the god- and country-hating socialists who forced The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) upon us (as of March 23, 2010). This horrible act requires non-profit hospitals to meet the mandates of their tax-exempt status, demanded that hospitals comply with hospital charity care and community standards (like telling poor uninsured people that financial assistance programs exist), and even expects the hospitals to provide greater transparency in their costs to the uninsured. How awful.

No, sweety. The politicians did. What did you expect illegals to do? Say no thanks, it's not in your country's best fiscal interests? The pols did it to facilitate the bankruptcy of what was once the seventh largest segment of our economy to pass socialized health care. I'm guessing the Democrat Clinton's started that ball rolling, since I'm sure you remember Hellery's big project was 'fixing' health care.

Maybe you don't remember. Party Affiliation Derangement Syndrome, I'm betting.

Wow, snookems, you are on a conspiracy-theory high, aren't you? The politicians FORCED those otherwise philanthropic hospital administrators to charge more in fees to the uninsured (and set up those off-shore accounts) just so health care reform would be FORCED on us. Yeah, right.

I bet those kind, considerate, generous, and empathetic hospital administrators just can't wait to close those off-shore accounts and distribute those ill- gotten gains to the indigent.

What conspiracy, stupid? My God you people have been infesting and rotting government with your candidates to create laws that force this very thing on the private sector.
