My wife and I got screwed by an insurance company over breast cancer. She had it twice and the last time she discovered a lump in the "other side" and the doctors said it was benign and they didn't need to even check it out. My wife, having already been through chemo and a lumpectomy, said "hell no!" The insurance agree to pay for the one side of the double mastectomy if it was found to be malignant, which it turned out it was. They never paid and we had to foot the bill.
This isn't to say I agree with anything "Shellie" says.
We are also lucky to both have good jobs in this Obama America. Both with health coverage so she has double coverage.
All I know is that my wife frequents a lot of BC survivor message boards and in 5 years she has seen members from Canada and UK die prematurely due to lack of treatment or from rationed care.
If that happens here...many women will die prematurely.
