Two and a half years ago my 42 year old son died of coronary artery disease. He had been "downsized" three years before and lost his insurance. Since he had diabetes he could not afford private insurance and could not get a job either because of a terrible job market. He stopped getting regular checkups because his money was running out and he was embarrassed to to ask his family to help him. He died two days after christmas of 2006 and his doctor said he had spent night nights going over anything he had missed in his records. Greg might have been saved had his insurance followed him when he lost his job or he might have been saved if he could have afforded insurance. He was the middle of my three sons and we have never gotten over his sudden loss and probably never will. Bless you, sir, you truly are a man with guts!
