Death By Spreadsheet Booklet Now Available
This booklet contains testimonials detailing injustices of the American health care system. These are firsthand accounts of tragedy and death due to insurance denials and lack of coverage.
At a time when 47 million American people are uninsured and 80 million more Americans have inadequate coverage, these expressions of suffering-posted to our online petition-document the experiences of people in the midst of this health care crisis. In a society that can attribute 101,000 unnecessary deaths each year to problems with our health insurance system and lack of preventative care, these are the voices of just a few of the victims.
Remember, insurance companies must deny healthcare claims in order to increase their profits.
Please download the booklet.
Just reading the personal stories is heartbreaking....
Maybe a friend or three would also be interested in this booklet . . .
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I've already sent a copy to the White House ... How about you?

I remember sitting in the waiting room of the ER, while my husband held his bleeding fingers, on a Sat or Sun afternoon, as we waited for them to get "approval" to treat the injury! (accidental misuse of the hedge trimmer... but still...) It took at the very least an hour. Maybe two. We had health care then.
Is it any wonder that when we needed to get our "insurance" I took a catastrophic policy - that at least allowed us to spend our own money to get treatment ASAP from anyone, anywhere!
