Had he told me, I would have insisted he have further testing and paid for them personally. His condition could have been treated and he'd still be providing for his beautiful family.
An example of the hidden costs to society for piss-poor health insurance? It's not just the cost of a LIFE. My son's wife will now collect SSDI payments for their children, until they reach the age of 18.
It would have been far cheaper to have just properly diagnosed him and treat his heart condition.
Like Hillary said in that video, and I paraphrase, "If you aren't for universal health care, then you aren't a real progressive."
So what happened, Hillary?
