Please, can you take action about this? I'm absolutely speechless and angry! I can't believe that people can be so mean, heartless...

Fortunately, this sort of horror story will soon be a thing of the past. Still, there's a long way to go before this bass-ackward country gets its act together and stops listening to the conservative Christian loonies...

But, if I understood well, they had all the legal papers to prevent that, and they simply ignored them!

They did, but some places have been free to ignore those because there's no "legal" relationship... not being a lawyer, I'm not sure of the particulars, but I do know it has happened before and for the same reason.

The new executive order will prevent that in any hospital which takes federal money (virtually all hospitals), though a little too late for these two men and countless others.

I hope so, your country can be really strange sometimes...

Don't I know it!

OMG! That is scary. I feel so sorry for those men. Nothing that comes out of the court case will be able to give back that lost time with his dying partner.

I know, I've lost my dad and mom and I was there for both of them, and I was so grateful for those last moments with them and to hope that they knew that they weren't dying alone...
