This whole converstaion came up between a friend and I- because
another friend has been diagnosed with cancer, has no insurance, and
her chemo will cost $11,000 and we are taking up a collection for her.
She is in Oregon- apparently they are delaying the treatments till she
has money. I think the whole situation is despicable- we are taxed to
death on everything from our phone bill to shoes and our Little Georgy
****gie says we don't have enough money for some type of National
Health Care. Harruumph!  Others say NHC would be a disaster. So we
decided to ask people who know (that would be you all).
