I sympathize with her plight but she made a very bad decision not to find a job where she would be eligible for group health insurance. She would not have been denied coverage.

Also, if we had sensible insurance reform she would not be stuck only with those insurers that are licensed in Alabama. She would be able to buy her health insurance across state lines and might be able to join coops that once again use the power of large groups to avoid denial.

If she thinks having the government decide whether she gets her drug or not is going to be the solution to all her problems she needs to do a little more research. She will find that she will have zero alternatives and when some bureaucrat decides she is too old or the treatment doesn't meet their cost-benefit analysis. Where will she go then? To whom will she turn? She will have no alternatives but to live with their decision...or in this case die with it.

Her plight is truly heartbreaking but when she makes her appeal for a government solution I can only say she is barking up the wrong tree.
