Insurance co's could give Katy Abrams something to really cry about
Edited on Thu Aug-13-09 11:53 AM by brentspeak
There are countless medically-bankrupted parents all around the nation, thoroughly, totally, irreversibly crushed by medical debt. They really do have something to cry about. I know a few - classmates I grew up with who've had to take out second, even third mortgages because a child had cancer or needed a spinal operation. Their financial futures are basically...gone. And, yes - they had paid for insurance coverage. They're forced to swallow their dignity and beg for financial help from family, friends, anyone. Probably, there's hundreds-of-thousands (millions?) just like them all over the country.

Why isn't Glenn Beck or John Stossel putting them on the air?

4. People like Katy Abrams can't see anything beyond their own noses.
They can't or won't acknowledge that their experiences may be quite different from somene else's and that the experiences of others are just as valid as their own. Its real narrow-mided and self-absorbed thinking.

5. Katy Abrams should volunteer for a day with Remote Area Medical.
It's hard to imagine the ignorance and self-centeredness of these people.
