(2,983 posts)You have my deepest sympathies. I cannot imagine the pain of having to bury one of my children. I am glad that the ACA gave you more time with your child. I just wish we could have given more, done something better. As flawed as it is, it still accomplishes good things - it can be improved - and improvement becomes more likely when folks like you are willing to share your stories.
I'm not thrilled with the ACA, but it's better than what many of us had before - and the fact that it gave you more time with your child... that is something is beyond price. We can make it better though. No one should ever have to die because some clerk or insurance company decides not to pay for care.
My heart is totally with you on this. I am so sorry for your loss.
