Homeless and Dying of Cancer - Jamie Murphy's Story

ABC News10's Michael Anthony Adam's story on homeless and dying cancer patient Jamie Murphy set off a flurry discussion online. It came just days before Sacramento City Council voted to uphold the Planning Commissions decision to approval our conditional use permit. Jamie himself gave a chilling testimony at that meeting. Mr. Adam's also interviewed Marlene for this story. We would like to thank him for his timely coverage.

Heartless that’s the only way to describe the person who asked him to leave because he or she couldn’t handle watching him die Where is humanity in our society?

[@helenrussell5634]

NO ONE deserves to die like this and certainly not one should die like this especially in the United States of America!!!!

[@tuchus8781]

America is the best

[@casualplaguedoctor]

This is why healthcare is a right

[@wwilliams3278]

i'm terrified as i am dying myself and can't get hospice.... going it alone and scared.

[@EmmaBakesCakes]

What a wonderful thing to do. ❤

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Why not provide people like this man with alternative medical care rather than automatically assign them a death sentence since they can’t pay?

[@kdlofty]

Absolutely fucking disgraceful to be in that situation.

[@kennethhall9202]

Bless you

[@neilbrie8972]

Dying with dignity and not alone! And knowing someone care, come on people US is the richest country in the world!

[@juderussell7112]

So sad that we as a human race are now so uncaring.where do we go from here. I really don't know. At least in heaven he will be looked after.

[@jeanettesteed3326]

A bit late when he gets to heaven wouldn’t you say. What about heaven helping him when he was on earth

[@huntley3999]

The richest country in the world which helps people all over the world, but not its own. Shameful.

[@jeffreyskinner7167]

God bless this man. God punish the government for permitting this to go on . Hospice is essential for our homeless . This topic is near and dear to my heart . As a former hospice nurse , animals are rescued , but not people . Our society is truly on the verge of collapse. May your soul Rest In Peace eternally . 😢

Thats so bad

[@jeanettesteed3326]

This is beyond sad. At least in England this wouldn’t happen. All medical care in England is free, and this poor man would have been helped to die with dignity

[@Ilovemd-p3f]

Any idea, how he's going?

[@joshuashousesacramentoca2744]

He passed away shortly after this news story was done.

That business guy, sure hospice for the homeless is a good idea, just not in MY neighbourhood. Smh

[@dairinnally5912]

This cannot be true

[@dewaynejohnson5133]

praying for you god is good .... so sorry my brother

[@joany11swatch14]

I’m confused....how he can afford very expensive medication if he’s homeless with no job. People that have jobs, pay for rent and living expenses can’t afford medical care like medication ...how can he ?

[@joyroyster8935]

Maybe he has just Medicaid for his meds

[@veronicachristopher-fellow5866]

Oh god where is this God...yes why cant he have hospice care. Is there a God....I am asking for a mircle

[@L.A.Killah213]

Nothing gonna help u no god Nothing U die u die that simple....

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

God exists and does help but unfortunately this man didn’t get the help that he needed.

[@SRKTVCREATIONS]

This God, terrible... There is no God of course 😞

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

God does exists like you.
