I have not wrote anything the last few months becasue I didn't have anything to say---
Now I have alot to say about the state of our current healthcare system!
My father is only 59 years old and he has cancer. What right does anyone have to say he should go bankrupt in order to live!! I sat down with my father to help him organize his medical bills. His insurance curently covers 80% of his medical coast-the bills are in files stacked on his desk. He ows thousands of dollers. THIS IS WITH INSURANCE! My dad will lose his health coverage in December. He still has a major surgury scheduled in November and Chemo will start the end of November-he will ows money for the hospital stay and for the chemo copay--his insurance will end right when he starts his chemo.
Now tell me Washington, what does my dad do when his insurance ends???? Does he wait to die? Beg the cancer center not to end his chemo--praying they have a program to let his postpone paying the bills--chemo costs tens of thousbands of dollers!!
I ask the people who do not want a public option-who do not want to see a health care bill passed--
WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY MY DAD'S LIFE HAS LESS VALUE THEN YOURS!!!!
My dad has worked hard for 40 years-supporting a family-working graveyard-two jobs. Now he is lying in bed-pale as a ghosts-5'11 and weighs 150 lbs---praying he does not die becasue he can't afford treatment.
We need this bill to pass! I pray that the Pres. and the senate can get my father the help he needs to live.
He has a right to see his grandchildren grow up--he has a right to celebrate his 60th birthday!
