I sometimes think I'm the only single writer I know who has personal health insurance. (I had to hunt it down, tag it and keep a GPA on it to hang onto it, but there you are...) And for what it costs, I know why. If you can, buy one less $5 item this week and then pass this message along. If everyone who sees it gives a few bucks, it will at least dent the mound of medical bills Aaron has amassed.

Jay HAS insurance, through his day job -- but he's keeping track of the estimated cost of his cancer treatment, and it would have bankrupted the average citizen already, much less a freelancer or, gods forbid, someone out of work.

Eek. Tell him macrobiotics has put a lot of cancer patients into remission, if he feels driven to continue tweaking his treatment.

Definitely helping me....
