I am the youngest of the family of this peace. My sister said it best and I am very proud of her. Our brother Frank died only a few years after David. Frank went to the doctor after David died and wanted to have a complete check up. The doctor told him "Yes they did detect something, but because he was uninsured they would not do more testing." He died about a year later. I work in the healthcare system and I can not even begin to think of looking someone in the face and saying "Yes you are sick,but I am not going to help you because you can't afford it." That is crazy. We are all worth the best of care at any cost.
