It's Bull Shit. I can't afford my inhalers. I have one emergency inhaler because I can't afford to get my daily ones. Even antibiotics are too expensive. I'm like, my body will take care of it. Eventually.
You're an asshole sir, it would have helped his uncle afford to treat his cancer which would have, in turn, prolonged his life or made it easier on his family
A someone with cancer right now, that chose hospice because it's the cheapest option (not that treatments would help in my case since mine is not curable) insurance is pathetic but would be useful if it actually covered anything. In my case as soon as it was reported what I had I received a termination notice at my house before I was even released from the hospital they covered my biopsy and other charges though so there is that.
A particularly nasty brain cancer called Glioblastoma, its pretty much gotten me bed ridden at this point since its screwing with everything. Its ok though I don't have a family so not gonna burden anybody when I'm gone just gonna fade away in a few more weeks I'm already asleep more than awake.
I'm not religious in so many words, I have beliefs I just don't adhere to any specific sect, for instance I don't believe going to church does anything for you as your time with whatever name your supreme spirit goes by should be spent in quiet reflection either alone or with family (alone in my case) a church is just a building built by man and thus flawed like all humans. Its difficult to actually describe.
That has some validity. But here is a video of a scientist preacher explaining why the Christian/Messianic Jewish God is the correct god.

@whospikedthepunch You might not "burden anybody", but some of us will miss you. I've already noticed your comments are less and less frequent and I'm sad.
Sorry it's getting harder to stay awake let alone stare at my phone, I'm sorry guys I should have kept my mouth shut about this, its my issue and I don't want to stress anyone else with it.
No. I have never even seen your face and I can tell you that I'm glad I know. I'm going to miss your presence on earth, and I can tell you many others will as well. You are no burden. No stress.
My siblings and I have asthma so this hits home. Plus, if you read the 'warning' labels on birth control pills, it warns you if you have ASTHMA. So excuse the pun, but you're screwed either way.
badwolf, in that one respect you have wickedly helpful insurance. Mine (well, I haven't fiddled with the new one from the new job yet, but my recent one) didn't see the help in covering anything but the stuff I could get as $4 generics anyway, and that stuff reacts impressively badly with my depression, in the "my husband found me cutting myself, researched the counterindications on the pills, and nearly sued my doctor" sort of way.
What kind of cancer is it?
