Elizabeth Moon has pulled together a fine post on the senseless death of uninsured writer Melissa Mia Hall. Melissa died of an undetected heart attack. She felt horrible, she was in pain -- but did not go to a doctor or to the ER because she could not afford to pay for a visit, and was afraid that adding anything to her credit debt might jeopardize her house.
I'm one of those people who has been pushed toward medical bankruptcy. I hope to return to work in the next few months, but I've spent most of my savings while trying to get well. There may be no retirement for me.
American insurance is already rationed, and Americans are senselessly dying instead of living productive lives and adding to this great country. Take a look at Elizabeth's post -- and then pass it on. Maybe your friend will hear her when s/he has not heard anyone else.
I will not watch another friend die because they could not afford health care. I support the Affordable Care Act, and I vote! #ForMMHall
