Quote:Funny you mention that because I am coming from the former because my father had/has Glioblastoma and is one of the people currently living to actually tell about it. Luckily he has Medicare, supplemental insurance, and an Aflac cancer policy to go on top of that. I have seen the brain surgery bills, chemo bills, radiation bills, and the mirage of tests that go along with it and there is no way 99.9999% of the population could pay for that without insurance.

 

No doubt it medical insurance is a tough subject, but personal experiences can really make you change how you look at it. It will be interesting to see what changes are coming down the road, if any.

That is wonderful news! I knew a guy who had it and he didn't make it. It was sad to see him deteriorate and his wife had to just deal with it. Many years later now and she is happily married and has a baby girl but the whole cancer thing took it's toll. 

 

And yes, personal experience tends to change your perspective on many things.
