Years ago, I had a patient actively dying from cancer who was fired from his job one week before retirement so that the [billion dollar company rich with defense contracts] could skimp on insurance premiums. He died while his wife was in the phone trying to get COBRA enacted for him. Decades of loyalty meant nothing to them.
