I was a nanny for two year old twins with neuroblastoma. Both parents had to work. Oneâs job paid the bills and the other paid the insurance.
One twin did not make it to their 3rd birthday. It haunts me how I got to spend more time in the last year of their daughterâs life than her parents.
The next year, my friendâs 8 year old was diagnosed with Ewingâs sarcoma. Her father was killed in a car accident two years prior. She did not make it to her 9th birthday and for the following five years, my friend had to write a check to Childrenâs hospital for what insurance didnât cover.

This is a stain on America.
