Kyler

On September 7th, 2010 Kyler Van Nocker succumbed to Neuroblastoma, a cancer that is found in children, and went to meet his creator. Although I did not meet personally this brave child who fought for his life for over three years and feel like I have. He is another victim to an insurance company and their “bureaucrats” deciding who lives and who doesn’t. I love when people during health care reform said that there would be government death panels deciding who lives and who doesn’t. I guess they are fine with a private bureaucrat but not one who works for the government.
I have criticized health management insurance companies and their defenders in the past, and will continue to do so until we have other options. The same people who say that they are fine with an hmo over charging and under covering us, seem to be the same people who are in favor of BP polluting the Gulf of Mexico. I wonder where they are now that another platform in the Gulf exploded a few days. I assume that we must trust Exxon, owner of the recent casualty, that there has be no spill in this case, just like we should have trusted BP when they said that there were only a few barrels leaking into the Gulf of Mexico.
Going back to the subject of this blog unfortunately Kyler will not be the first or the last victim to be in the hands of a clerk who is rewarded based on the amount of rejections that they make, so that shareholders can make money, even if it is will blood money.
At least Judas had the decency and the courage of realizing what he done and took his life for betraying his savior.
