Hi All
I have called Mark Kirk and many others personally. I have a story very like Natoma's -- with a twist. My sister -- a university grad with a job and paying into a health plan -- was diagnosed with colon cancer. To make a long story short the insurance company canceled her because she "was too expensive." When she died in her early 40's(!) she had lost her house her assets was on welfare and eating out of handouts and food banks. Nice. My son on the other hand became quite ill when he was in gr. 9 and we were here in Ontario. Within a week he had seen our family doctor, a specialist, had x-rays and blood work stress tests etc. done and had been referred to and seen by the head of thoracic medicine at Sick Kids. He was operated on 24 hours later. He was in Sick Kids about 9 days with 24/7 nursing and post-op care.
My total bill? $42.87 for bandages adhesive tape etc. Thank God we were here. I have nightmares thinking what might have happened to us if we were in the States!
I am praying for the success of reform. I still do not understand what the big deal is!!!Susan
