My son has had to endure the heartache of watching his young adult life pass him by without much participation while he battled the pains associated with severe scoliosis and epileptic seizures because he could not afford appropriate healthcare and the much needed medication. I have had to watch my Mother slowly and painfully die each day for two months because her family doctor refused to send her for appropriate tests--because he was incented to avoid refering her to "specialists". As a result what her doctor insisted was "just her sinuses" and "part of getting old" turned out to be a massive brain tumor that went undetected until it was too late. Do I believe we need health care reform...without a doubt. I only wish we already had it--sooner--before my Son's and my Mom's quality of life was stolen from them--as a direct result of a failing health care system that they paid dearly for.
