Perhaps because I was without a computer for several months, I did not read the thread about Christina's lung cancer. I just now read from the thread. It outrages me that many people in the United States are without medical insurance coverage.

One of my best friends only recently got medical insurance from a new employer. Even with fairly good insurance, I struggle to pay for co-pays and deductable payments, but I do have coverage. Now I have Medicare. That Christina could not even afford the diagnostic tests she needed makes no sense in a civil society.
