Letter to the Editor: To get medical help, or not get medical help? That is the question.
There are thousands of Californians who are without health care and have to make decisions as to whether they should seek medical help when they are not feeling well. Many people cannot afford to have health care coverage because their jobs do not offer it or they do not make enough money to pay the monthly fees.
I have been shocked about the cost of health care in the state of California. Last year, I needed preventive surgery to stop the development of cervical cancer. Fortunately, I have military health care and was able to have the surgery. If I didn’t, the state of my health would be much different today. My heart hurts for those who do not have the same benefit.
