This past Tuesday the Fight Back Bus was in our area - how exciting - It was extra special for me to sign, because my brother did not have medical insurance and we know that was the delay in getting him treatment right away. Because we did have a case number from Medicare - the clerk at the pharmacy put us in as medicare pending and we were able to get his prescriptions at a low cost.  If not for that clerk spotting that case number and being merciful, I don't know how my sister and I would have paid for the pain medicinces alone - they were $200 a bottle. Even though this all happened in Indiana, I wanted the story to be heard and posted it on the California ACS CAN website to be given to our California Legislators and then on to Washington.  

It was emotional for me, on the way there I thought of how my brother suffer with the pain and would not want anyone else to suffer like that, just because there is no insurance.  It makes you wonder what happed to the oath Do no Harm.  It is so harmful to be sick and not able to get any relief for the pain.  So if you hear that the Fight Back Express Bus is heading your way - go out and support and sign that bus!
