Cap-And-Trade Will Cost

[Chubminnow]

What about the ones who are not as fortunate as you to be able to afford insurance? You will say they can get free care at the emergency room. You will say they can just die because they are too lazy to work. You can ignore the problem because it dont affect you.

Got another example for you...I have a 19 year old nephew who has cancer (this is a true story, sad but true)...I think they call it Hodgekins Lymphoma or something)....anyway, he has had "some employment" but not much...completely ate up with the disease....but he was able to go to U of L and they have been treating him for it, hitting him with Chemo, etc...Hs stayed at University for three weeks, he was just released last weekend but now has to travel back and forth to the Brown Cancer Center daily for four to six weeks..not sure what all they are doing to him or with him, all I know is the ordeal he is going through...at 19 years of age. I'm not even sure he knows what a good health coverage plan really means or how important it is...but he's being taken care of...as for a place to live, etc...he lives with his mom and relies on extended family to take him to and from the Brown Cancer Center. Sure does sound to me like he's getting the treatment he requires, even without insurance.

Chub, I will pray for your nephew and wish him the best. I am also glad he has a family to support him in his sickness and thanks to the doctors who are treating him. Since this is a real account of someones family member I will respect you and anything concerning your nephews sickness and hope the best for your nephew and the great family support he has. Best wishes!
