Another Example of Why We Need Better Healthcare

Now, for a dose of non-Britney related reality:


A man threw his seriously ill wife four stories to her death because he could no longer afford to pay for her medical care, prosecutors said in charging him with second-degree murder.

According to court documents filed Wednesday in Jackson County Circuit Court, Stanley Reimer walked his wife to the balcony of their apartment and kissed her before throwing her over.

The body of Criste Reimer, 47, was found Tuesday night outside the apartment building, near the upscale Country Club Plaza shopping district.

According to the court records, she had no health insurance to pay for medical bills that ranged from $700 to $800 per week.
