I would applaud you, but I know you're not seeking that kind of attention, so I won't. There is no shame or blame in the "American Dream." After all, this is the land of opportunity. Evolution being what it is I think it's safe to say, though, that we are now the land of the opportunists.

My mother was 4 months into chemotherapy treatment when she went to the pharmacist to discover that her perscription plan was dropped. Unable to afford the medication out of pocket, she left. It took a week for her insurer to admit their error and get reinstated. Within a week after restarting her medication she caught pneumonia. She was in the hospital for a week, released, and died within 48 hours.

She was on Medicaid,... our countries last resort for insurance. So don't feel that private insurance companies are the only one's with tricks up their sleeves.
