(62,325 posts)reading who may be from other countries, who see the laughter and hilarity here when the topic arises, I want to be sure they understand that this is very real and very tragic, and that the likelihood of Americans knowing someone who has died from lack of HC is very high.
I appreciate your compassion, something very lacking in the Third Way crowd as many have noticed.
My other friend is right now out of her job with a diagnosis of terminal melanoma. But what looked a disaster two months ago when she lost her job, may actually work in her favor now. While working she could not afford the co-pays which is why this cancer spread, she knew she needed treatment, but, well you know the story. However, now because she has no job, she is most likely eligible for medicaid, or will be in one month but can probably get treatment. I am hoping it is not too late.
