Recently, I wrote about health care reform. It is one of the hot button political issues that we all can relate to. Many people we know have lost jobs and in turn lost their insurance. While others who are employed are under insured and a great majority don't have access because it is not employer provided and an unaffordable necessity. The health care issue has never been so close to being changed since reform became an issue nearly 50 years ago.
Today, I became aware of someone I care about dying from brain cancer on Friday. She was only 46 and was diagnosed in July. We may be healthy today, God only knows what tomorrow may bring with this toxic environment we live in. (That's a longer story for another day.) As a chronically ill person, this issue is one I am passionate about. Although I have insurance, there were periods when I didn't have coverage in the past. I understand needing and not having.
Please take a few minutes and fill out the online petition of support and let the Washingtonian wheelers and dealers know that you care too.
