Well ... now that she's let the cat out of the bag (I've been silent on this here for three years now), as Paul Harvey would say, here's the REST of the story. Stage 4 is "terminal." It means it's metastasized and spread, go home and make your peace. It's a death sentence.It could have been caught early, but because she had a pre-existing condition (thyroid) the fine folks at United Hellcare refused to cover treatment even though we were paying out the ass for insurance. Not only did they cancel her for it, but they were kind enough to tell all of the OTHER insurance companies not to cover her either. It wasn't until OBAMACARE that denial of coverage for "pre-existing conditions" was no longer a barrier to getting insurance at all. And even after that, insurance companies HAD to accept you, but they could charge whatever they wanted for the coverage. Once the cancer was detected, the rates were set to astronomical amounts that just couldn't be covered. So even WITH ACA, it was still a death sentence. God bless APPLE. That's who I work for. APPLE was willing to pay in excess of %600,000 to pay for all the treatments and cure of Stage 4 cancer out of their pocket because I work there. They paid nearly the entire freight aside from the same deductables other employees pay and those mounted up too. Bottom line, anyone who has an issue with her focus on this issue can stick it where the sun don't shine. If it weren't for ACA and damn you republicans, she'd be dead. So there you are, that's why she is the way she is about this issue. The republican way TRULY IS ... And oh yeah ... fuck you, Olog. |
