but not everyone gets the medical attention they need.

My Dad wants(needs) to go up to the Cancer treatment center of America but his insurance won't allow it. If he goes the insurance will only pay 30%. With pancreatic cancer that could be a big chunck of change. They are the only one around we know that has a new radiation machine( Radiofrequency ablation) that can directly hit the pancreas without damaging the other organs and tissue.

He is going to file for long term disability on Wednesday so maybe that will help.

We can help everyone in the world but we can't help our own people. That is sad.. I think it is time our country starts putting its money back into its own people!

Just needed to vent a little. Thanks for listening.
