It now helps that we have a president whose mother died young from ovarian cancer caught too late -- and beyond her means to treat. Most people are most worried about medical/economy or economy/medical. If we can just get it through those stubborn legislative heads!

In the Lyme community, we say that the first national senator or congresscritter who has a family member told: "Sorry, that's just damage, we can't treat it anymore, it's gone" will be the person to sponsor Lyme education and doctor immunity from prosecution in the House & Senate.

I don't know Jay personally -- I'm sorry to hear he's up this creek, too.

Sometimes I wish the people yowling against insurance reform had to see, firsthand, what it's like being ill without insurance....)
