Probably due to the wonderful health care for the uninsured, my brother-in-law is dying. By the time his cancer was diagnosed, it had spread and now he has stage four lung cancer. I don't blame our country's lack of health coverage entirely. If he and my stupid sister hadn't been looking for jobs that fulfilled them, they might have had coverage. If he didn't smoke, he might not have contracted this...
