These families end up having to file for bankruptcy protection because of the mounting medical costs and the ongoing need for medical care that is not covered by insurance. It is unfortunate that while these people are fighting and illness or disease they have to be worrying about how they will get medical treatment or cover their costs.

Where does it say in the Constitution that BIG INSURANCE has some god given right to exploit us for the maximum profit possible. Government is the only entity powerful enough to break the strangle hold insurance companies have on all of us. Talk about “Government Rationing” makes me laugh…as if every private insurance company today isn’t absolutely committed to standing between the patient and the care they need. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
