Uninsured and likely to need it

    ORDER REPRINT →

September 29, 2007 12:00 AM

My mother died at 50 from cancer that could have been treated had she had better insurance. I am 25 and can't afford a policy due to the fact I had cancer at age 5, so the already high costs of health insurance are much greater for me. I don't know what we are supposed to do.
