So they had six figure jobs and did not save enough for health care insurance? Seems like they could have afforded it and chose not to buy it. Also most of the people who did not have it in almost all cases could have meet the requirements for free insurance through the fed or state if they had applied for it. Also most hospitals offer reduced or free care for people who have lower incomes. There are many charitable organizations that also help needy people with funding to pay for heath care.

Great idea! Putting a face on this problem should help convince EVERYONE that a crisis in health care really exists. Selfish is the person who witnesses suffering yet does nothing.

Thank you for showing us living proof of our dysfunctional health care system.

We need reform NOW!

All I can say is WOW. Thank you sir for doing this for us as a nation and for us as individuals who are dealing with issues of health and the medical and governmental systems of health care, which if we're honest is all of us to some degree or another. Great job!!!!
