There's a lot more to this story than is being reported.

She waited a year before going to the Doctor after she found a lump. "Using herself as an example, Ms. Shouse said she had put off going to a doctor because her health insurance policy had a $5,000 deductible. She called it "'hit by a bus' kind of insurance."

She HAD insurance and it had a deductable. But she also had treatments for 4 and half years and unfortunately, died.

She had an oncologist and received treatment, but her insurance company refused to pay for a non conventional treatment toward the end of her life.

Anyone think it will be any different under ObamaCare?

And she was 41. So under Obamas plan, she would not have even been given a yearly mammogram which is supposed to be covered.

I'm sorry this poor woman didn't get a Mammogram when her lump was first discovered.

If her insurance didn't cover that, the Susan G. Koman organization would have..
