Today I met a 25 year old guy who has been diagnosed with cancer and doesn’t have any health insurance. He recently underwent emergency surgery to remove polyps and cancer from the infected organs at a cost that exceeds $150,000.00, which he can't pay for. And what is he doing now? He’s waiting for the State to come through with a Medicaid card so he can begin chemotherapy. The kid is young, he has a job that doesn’t pay much, he lives with his mom, he’s religious, and is trying to find his way in the world. Unfortunately, the health insurance "system" in this country isn’t working for this young man whose one mistake is he didn’t appreciate the need for health insurance, assuming, of course, he could have afforded it, which I doubt. It’s absolutely stunning to me that this is acceptable in our country. Meanwhile, back in Iraq where the money is flowing and things are going swimmingly well....
