Cancer Ain't Cheap

Cancer is not cheap. I just looked on the UHC (United Healthcare)website and my total medical costs to-date (without radiation costs) are $250,373.64. I only paid $2500 plus some minimal prescription costs. Thankfully, when I was real sick, I was off for the summer so I didn't lose work income either. God has blessed me with insurance through my job and obviously I needed it. No one is invincible. For my friends, fellow musicians or students who don’t have insurance, I urge you to get it. Even a major medical policy with a high deductible through a company like the Farm Bureau isn’t that expensive, something around $300 per year – it is cheaper than writing a $300,000 check. Please pray for the millions of Americans who can't afford insurance and find themselves in this situation.
