"Hospital" fined for killing detainee

Psychiatric "hospitals" are the American gulag. The United States has become known for using such facilities to lock up dissidents - more now than ever before. It's a demonstrable fact.

Laws vary from state to state, but it took until last year before California finally passed a law giving the Department of Public Health the power even to fine a psychiatric facility if a detainee died because of poor care.

Now Sierra Vista Hospital in Sacramento has been fined $25,000 because of a death caused by poor care there. An unidentified individual who was held there complained of poor health, but employees failed to notify a doctor. The person later died. A physician later said the person should have been taken to an emergency room before it was too late.

Only a $25,000 fine? Since when does murder (which is really what this was) bring only a $25,000 fine? Twenty-five thousand bucks is nothing to corporations that own these "hospitals."

Other facilities in California were also fined for placing folks at risk of serious injury or death.
