Horror stories on health care reinforce the fact reform is correct path. April

Back in the 1960s, I was pregnant and my husband had no job and we had no

insurance. I was not allowed to be admitted to the hospital until someone came

forward and gave the hospital some money. I made a mistake. I needed hospital

care, but what would have happened if no one came forward?

By the time I had my second child, my husband had a good job with good

insurance. No problem with either doctor bills or hospital bills, we did it

right that time.

In the next room a lady my husband knew (an ex-girlfriend) was being told by her

insurance company that she wasn't going to be covered by them. I don't know what

the problem was but on what should have been one of the happiest times of her

life she was being extremely upset by her insurance company. She thought she was

covered by insurance and she did nothing wrong. What happened?

Please show support for the health care reform that will leave no young woman

worrying about being admitted to a hospital. No woman being in the hospital and

told by their health insurer, " Sorry, we will not pay. " Money should not be the

important matter when we are sick; getting well and back to our families and

loved ones is what is important. Norma Grooms, Camden Ohio
