Cynthia, Thanks for doing this.
I am a single mom, head of household, working full time with stage IV mets.
Group health insurance portability would be my plea. It would seem to me that if you have been covered by a group policy all of your healthy life that you should be able to maintain that coverage once you get sick. Cobra policies are better than nothing but I believe that more can be done for people that get sick before age 65 when Medicare kicks in.
If you lose your job it is hard to find another one once word gets out that you are Stage IV. I need my insurance now more than ever.
Carolyn
