Camellya was a 32yrs old mother of five. A week before she passed she went to the ER for a minor issue. She was not properly treated and was discharged from the hospital for lack of health insurance. She passed away Monday because she did not have health insurance. If she was covered there is doubt in my mind that she would be here. I would not have to come to this website and speak about this nightmare. I was never the type to stand up and advocate for anything. I am now an advocate for my sister-in-law and thousands of others who have been affected by this tragedy. We live in the most powerful and wealthest nation on earth. It is time for us to care of the least amongst us. We need a public option. Thank you for created this website. We now have a voice.
