Reply #10: My best and longest known friend died because he could not afford health insurance or health care.

I knew him since I was 4 years old. We were friends for over 50 years. We learned a lot of things together. We went to the same schools, built tree shacks, built rafts, built igloos, damned up creeks, owned a jet boat, played guitars in bands, were in business together. I introduced him to the girl he later married and was his best man. We owned and ran The Who Quadrophenia sound system. I donated one of those Mavis audio mixer desks to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame where it sits to this today as part of the Bob Heil exhibit.



Before he died he told me how he had wished he had health insurance. I loved him like a brother. His name is Warren Dyke.
