		<description><![CDATA[My Friend, Bobby Butterworth had some chest pains a month ago, on a Thursday. We told him to go to the ER. He decided to wait the evening, because he had no insurance &#8211; He felt a hospital bill would bankrupt him and leave him on the street (the ER asks for money up front [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Sunday to you all. I was sitting in a coffee shop and reflecting on the amount of help given to my family through the years. My sister was born with a cleft lip/palette. Shortly afterward, my father broke his back when he fell off a building he was working on. I try to remember [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The movie “Sicko” gave Michael Moore’s dramatic perspective of our healthcare crisis. My perspective is more limited, but equally real, for any Sarah Palin fans out there. I had not had much reason to think about the situation until I moved three years ago. Until then, I had been fortunate; I had always had health [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was successfully self-employed a year ago, I didn’t have health insurance yet because I could not afford it despite making a decent amount of money. I was shopping around to try to find some. Then I got unexplainably ill, I went to every type of doctor and thousands of dollars later was diagnosed with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been hoping to get some people to tell their own stories here &#8212; a couple of friends have told me they don&#8217;t want to be the first, or they don&#8217;t think having to stay in a job they hate because of the insurance compares to losing a kid. All the stories are valid. People [...]]]></description>

I would frequently call mikey when everything was down and out on my end and mikey always gave it to me straight. I am just like him in his sense of humor and &#8220;Boyd&#8221; way, you dont [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t really care about sports, but I am a huge Duke fan. Almost irrationally so. My blue runs Duke Blue. When there was the controversy with their lacrosse team, I couldn&#8217;t believe they had done anything wrong. If it had been any other school, I would have thought something was suspicious with the whole [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A wonderful tribute to Michael, and to all who have died at the hands of our greedy, for-profit health care system. It is unconscionable that anyone in this land of obscene wealth should die because they lack access to health care. Even though I&#8217;m Mike&#8217;s aunt, I didn&#8217;t know him well. I&#8217;ve gotten to know [...]]]></description>
