Regina Holliday's Husband Didn't Have To Die
Loading...
Uploaded by SEIU on Mar 2, 2010
A few years back, Regina Holliday's husband Frederick was diagnosed with a urinary tract stricture. "No big deal," she was told--it was an elective surgery, and "just $20,000" was all they needed to do it. They told her that when one of them got a 'real' job, they should come back and get the surgery. But by the time Frederick found his dream job teaching at a major university in Washington, DC--with good health insurance that would allow him to have the expensive surgery--it was too late to save his life.
At Melanie's March for health reform in Washington on February 24, 2010, Regina shared her health insurance horror story with a roomful of Senators, health care activists, union members, and press. When she was finished, there was hardly a dry eye in the house.

I wish everybody in the US would watch this, and realize that there are hundreds more stories like this happening every day here with our present profit-oriented healthcare system.
