When our little girl was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome 28 years ago, I was fortunate enough to be covered by primary and secondary health insurance policies. Unfortunately, she died shortly after major heart surgery. I imagine we would still be paying those medical expenses off had we not had insurance. You don’t decide whether you can afford the care, you just want your loved one to be there tomorrow, and the day after that, and so on. No one should have to worry about the expense. Basic health care should be a right for all in this wealthy country.
