It should be a right of all to have the best treatment avaible at no cost. Here we give BILLIONS & BILLIONS of dollors and countless American lives to a country most of us couldn't find on a map. Go Figure!! The medical profession does a great job overall but the bean counters set the policies and that leaves us in deep shit. Where is the human side of the story? There are some mighty COLD UNCARING HUMAN BEINGS OUT THERE!!
We as a human race have come a long way in so many areas. Medical coverage for the things we need are not one of them. Thats my thoughts on hearing about my friends having to struggle over coverage on top of survival. Life is unfair!!
