Health vs. School
A college student was diagnosed with colon cancer and had to continue going to school because she would've been dropped from her family's health insurance. She ended up dying a short while after her graduation. Her mother rallied and had the policy changed. This event shouldn't have even happened. Why would you make someone choose from accomplishing their dream and getting the necessary health treatment. They should have just allowed her to keep her health coverage without needing to complete her fully loaded schedule.

WOW.....i think that is pretty dumb because I have health insurance through my mother and father. And with my dad's health insurance if I stop going to school I would not be covered by him any more just my mother. I think that was a real bogus move on them and they should never do that to any individual ever. BUt I really enjoyed your blog.
