My coworker recently received an hysterical phone call from her son. He came home from school, found his father passed out on the bathroom floor and the toilet full of blood. She told him to call 911 and raced home. Long story short, her husband didn't want to go to the hospital and went to the doctor instead. While waiting for an appointment with a specialist, his doctor wanted him to have an abdominal CT scan. His insurance turned it down, saying he had to see a specialist first. That was weeks ago. He finally had his CT scan this past Friday. He found out today that he has cancer.

Gee, our current healthcare system is GREAT. We shouldn't try to change it one iota.
