remembering a story I read in the times a year or two ago. It was about this master carpenter who's work was said to be true artistry. He didn't have insurance because he was an independent and he was diagnosed with cancer. The radiation/chemo people basically cut him off from treatments because he had no insurance. His whole family donated as much as they could and it still wasn't enough.
He could have survived but our system killed him. I know this is only a small sampling but this is happening every day to people. We are letting people die because of no insurance.
I really want to fix that issue first.
