“I have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I am in remission but it will come back per my oncologist. I don’t know how I would pay for my chemo if my insurance didn’t pay for it. It scares me to think we will go to some of the plans the media is talking about. I’m sure I’m not the only one; please do what is right, not what is politically expedient.

“We read all the time about people in England and Canada being told by their doctor that they need a test like an MRI or a CT scan, and all he can do is put them on the waiting list for the test, and then month’s later they die while still waiting to get scheduled for the test!!! This is all too typical of government run bureaucracies!”

“We had lived in Canada for many years and observed the pitfalls of their health plan.”
