I am sickened over what is happening to him.

It seems as though the truly wicked just keep on thriving.

Such a sad outcome, and so unnecessary. Bless his heart for thinking of so many others during this time.

MedicalAdmin had to go without care because of a lack of health insurance. That's a horrible and all-too-common condition.

But before then, the care was not available because of TOO MUCH health insurance, enabling the various insurance companies to deny coverage, pointing at the other companies.

Both conditions are excellent arguments for a single-payer system. If only we could stop the insurance companies from corrupting our representatives.

Med Admin can have all the vibes I got, but they're no substitute for actual medical care. Alas.

we have talked about Nursing issues and MedAdmin was always supportive. I hope he is surrounded by compassionate and intelligent Nurses that realize they are loosing a dear friend. I hope they extend their compassion to his family. I am profoundly sad to here this news and hope to meet you in the vast undiscovered country.
