I went through cancer with a loved one and it is a terrible experience. Personally the worst of my life.

For me though, Rush Limbaugh is a person, who among the many evil things he was a mouthpiece for, didn't want people to have healthcare when they got cancer. He didn't care if they died or they bankrupted.
