With options running out, cancer patient chooses joy - Portland, Oregon | Local & Regional

http://t.co/Mz4WALB

At the end of this month his COBRA coverage will expire, and without insurance he'll no longer be able to afford the treatments and medications that give him a fighting chance. He expects to be dead by February.

(while I totally appreciate the necessity and ability of someone facing down this situation to choose a positive attitude, it should not be merely accepted by those not in his position. This man is dying needlessly because our system puts profits before human life.  In no other industrialized country would this man be denied care in this manner. Totally totally disgusting.)
