If you know someone who died because they did not have health care coverage and could not afford care, I encourage you to list them at http://www.namesofthedead.com and tell their story. The names with stories attached have red stars after them.
Unfortunately at least one person did not get it: http://tinyurl.com/yhyuoo3 tells the story of a woman who had BC/BS and they refused to cover unlimited treatment for an ovarian cancer found too late to treat successfully... so she died even with coverage from a for profit company.... (these are the very people the Gov wants to force you to buy coverage from). A great argument for single payer perhaps... but not a story of those suffering without care due to lack of coverage, in fact more of a story of a woman who had access to care and screenings she did not utilize to her advantage before it was too late to help her. sad for her and her family, but not the issue at hand.
