health care is a right. We in the US are not so fortunate.
There is a teenager at my local CA high school who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The family is insured. However, the insurance is inadequate, and fundraisers are being organized to help the parents with their suddenly astronomical medical expenses. It's awful that people going through such a terrible crisis have it made worse by the threat of financial ruin.
Thank you for your post. I hope your father has a swift and complete recovery.
