Nation’s healthcare crisis gets personal
By David Lazarus
I write a lot about healthcare reform. Now it’s personal.
I was diagnosed this past week with diabetes. As of Friday, I was injecting myself with insulin, something I’ll be doing four or five times a day, every day, for the rest of my life. Without the injections, I’ll likely die.
Scared? You’re damn right I’m scared. What’s going to happen to me? What’s going to happen to my family?
******
The taxpayer’s are supposed to take care of him & his family because he has diabetes?!
Shades of Jocelyn Elders worrying about who was going to pay her social security.
