My late husband died of asbestos cancer. If he had had good health care he might be alive today. He had had several back surgeries from 1984 to 2002. And with all the so call exams and xrays not one doctor detected his cancer until 2005 and then it was too late. If we had that right insurance we could have gone to the Cancer Center here in Rancho Mirage but they would not even look at him because of the isurance he had.
