Fmr vp biden hello, minnesota jessica, thank you for being here and sharing your story. Unfortunately, so many other americans have stories like yours, faced with health problems, fiting for their lives and forced think not only about facing the battle but how they can afford the treatment. While Insurance Companies come in at the most vulnerable moments for you and ur family members. I remember when my son beau was lying in the hospital after he came home from iraq after a year. He had stage iv glioblastoma. They told him not whether he was going to love but how long what he live. As he lay there, fighting for his life, fighting to hang on, i thought to m myself, what wouldt be like if in his suffering, my Insurance Company or his Insurance Company was able to say you have run out of , coverage.
