This is heartbreaking and flat out wrong:
Carrie Ann Lucas — an attorney and well-known disability rights activist best known for pioneering representation for parents with disabilities — died Sunday at the age of 47 in her hometown of Windsor, Colorado.
According to her obituary, which was posted to her Facebook page, Lucas died due to complications that occurred “after an arbitrary denial from an insurance company caused a plethora of health problems, exacerbating her disabilities and eventually leading to her premature death.”
Say it with me: UNIVERSAL. HEALTHCARE.
There simply is no other viable option. Our health should have never been a business commodity to privatize for profit. Never.
It also goes to show just how correct Alan Grayson was in outlining what the GOP would rather have as our healthcare system, and unfortunately we largely still retain much of that corrupt system.
