What a sad, but all too common story.

We can not turn our backs on people who need help when help exists. The problem with HC today is that as we have developed cures and treatment for a whole host of diseases, the costs of those treatments is prohibitive if you don't have insurance, and even then it is very expensive.

Never before in modern human history was there a time when cures were available but huge numbers of people could not pay. We have evolved as a society and culture (in the US) to the point where we should be able to take care of everyone who needs help. Imagine if you had a terrible disease and there were treatments but not for you because you don't have insurance.

We can and should do much better.
