on this forum, in a discussion about the state of health care America, if someone could name one person who died because of inability to pay for medical treatment.

His name was Duane.

He was a coworker who took seriously ill in March, was comatose for about two weeks, and in and out of hospital until about a week ago.

His insurance benefits dried up. Don't know how, but he was put out of hospital for insolvency.

He died of peritonitis at home last monday. He was about 26.


i had stayed out of the discussion at the time because it had already become too personal. At that time, i could have named two people.

Now i can name three.
