Remove this ad I'm with you TiT, I support everybody on this and I'm glad so many people so overwhelmingly showed their concern. However this now seems like nobody wants to post in Sucks proper because it seems they feel weird about it considering the overall tone here. That is not a flame, a knock, nothing like that. My heart goes out to everybody. Thing is, I post in this forum not to mourn but to laugh. -SJ™

AussieOriginal wrote: That is absolutely tragic that perhaps she might have caught it early if she didn't have the worry of health insurance. Sad enough to lose her, but even moreso.. could have been treated. It really pisses me off too. Things could be so different if she had had access to basic medical care. A trip to the gyn is about $160. A mammogram is about $150, with the discount for the uninsured. If she was working at Burger King, she could have made enough money to have access to basic medical care. Healthcare is free here (Australia) - ie Jenn could have had a mammogram or whatever was needed immediately. There are Breast Cancer Screening Vans that any woman can go to for free, that the Government pays for and actively encourages women to go to, because in the long run it SAVES LIVES. If Jenn had been Australian she would have had access to the treatment that just might have saved her life. That really sucks. Not to criticise America (I think it's a great country, I've been there many times, I married an American and my two children are American) but your healthcare system is extremely backwards. In many other countries getting treatment if you get sick does not depend on how much money/insurance you have. And my parents are American and I was born in America, but I live in New Zealand.We used to have universal health care and we still kind of sort of do, but conservative governments keep moving us closer and closer to the American model. I imagine that since Jenn spent a lot of time fighting to help increase awareness that she wouldn't mind a little discussion of these issues in this thread. Once again my heart goes out to her family and friends.

My thoughts exactly, unless Ril really has an uncle stupid enough to think Ril won't be shooting up again within 3 years. Then we can have a Riliss I Dearly Miss You thread! -SJ™

I can't for one minute imagine how or why so many Yanks are against it. I really need someone to explain it to me, because it makes no sense whatsoever. Most of us are against it because we know Social healthcare won't work in a country with 300 million people living here. Australia has what - 50 million people, Canada even less, we dont want to wait 6 months for an MRI or want people using the system who don't deserve it, such as illegal immigrants who will sneak/steal their way into the country for treatment and then leave. Most of us have been paying taxes, SS, etc... For many years, why should someone who has never paid a dime into the system be able to benefit?

What's being proposed is mandated private insurance with a couple of new rules for those companies in trade. The uninsured will continue to wait for emergencies until the insured pay for them, we can continue paying more for less, all is well.

( *particularly if there is a family history! Even a paternal history. My Dr told me, just as Jenn's did, that it wasn't a concern, unless it was on your maternal side. There is NO family history on my mom's side, but my dad's mom died of breast cancer. And low and behold, I'm STILL the only one on my mom's side who developed breast cancer) Jenn found a lump, but didn't have insurance, and her Dr wasn't too concerned, so she let it go. My Dr wasn't too concerned for me, either...but the difference is, I live in Canada and am over 40, so I had routine mammograms done once a year. I am so very lucky, and count my blessings for the CDN health care system, every day. Anyway.... MY lump was found by a routine mammogram, when I was 47 ( still considered young, medically, in terms of developing breast cancer ). It was in the early early stages. The lumpectomy ( not even the biopsy picked it up ) showed that I actually had 2 types of cancer, including a more dangerous, invasive, fast growing cancer........so thank goodness for the non-invasive type that the mammogram found! Seriously! Anyway...this isn't about me...what I meant to say was that my surgeon told me by the time you actually FEEL the lump yourself, the cancer will most likely have spread to one's lymph nodes....which is where the danger comes in. Anything smaller than 2 mm ( fortunately, mine was just 2mm and which is ONLY detectable via mammogram ), and one's chances of survival increase to 90%. I had to have a double mastectomy, which was shitty, sure.....but because my lump was so small, and the cancer had NOT spread past the breast wall, I did not have to have radiation or chemo. That was HUGE, in my recovery. HUGE! So please....Ladies....PLEASE.....have a mammogram! Seriously.

The issue with Jennifer's death is that had it been caught sooner, she most likely would have survived. People encouraging others to check their breasts, get mammograms etc is a GOOD thing in the aftermath of Jenn's death. A symptom that someone else had, that someone on the board might be ignoring in themselves which gives them the incentive to check it out could benefit the good of the board. I am sure that Jenn would agree that knowledge is power.

That is a good point you make, but surely the problem of illegals getting free treatment can be solved quite easily. You show a passport or green card when you go for treatment. I realise alot of Yanks don't have passports, so how about a medicare card? I got one when I legally emigrated to Australia, and I show that whenever I go to the Doctor.
