She thought she had a bad cold. She worked to support her family and went to work despite the fact that she was suffering from an undiagnosed case of terminal pneumonia that had already reached the point of no return.
The fact that she was being responsible for providing for her children, and trying to get enough days in to get company health insurance through her employer is, in fact, what ultimately killed her. She came up a couple of months short, and her kids STILL don't have health insurance.
Her kids don't have insurance? I thought that ALL children get covered through the state- at least they do here in Ohio.
I think it's called CHIP.
What killed her was very bad judgment.
There is no such thing as "terminal pneumonia." LOL!
