Tracy Pierce Memorial Candlelight Vigil - Friday, September 28, Washington, D.C.

On the Steps of the Lincoln Memorial at Sunset

Tracy Pierce lost his life on January 18th, 2006 at the age of 37 after a courageous 16-month battle with Kidney Cancer. Tracy had health insurance through his wife’s employer who continually denied the lifesaving treatments ordered by his physician. His family calls this “Death By Denial.” Tracy was a Journeyman Carpenter with Local #61 in Kansas City, Missouri. Tracy was the proud father of a 15 year old boy, a brother, a son, a friend to many and the husband of Julie Pierce. Julie promised her husband that his fight would not end with his death. Tracy’s story is featured in Michael Moore’s movie “SICKO” along with many other heart wrenching stories from Americans across our country because of Health Insurance. Larry and Donna Smith are also featured in “SICKO.” They lost their home, but it didn’t take their dignity or their passion to fight for what is right. Donna founded and created “APUHC” - American Patients for Universal Health Care in July 2007.

In conjunction with the Troops Out Now Coalition - “Health Care Not Warfare” march on Washington D.C. on Saturday, September 29, 2007, Please join American Patients for Universal Healthcare (APUHC) as we will host the first:

1. Tracy's story made me cry

The way his wife talked about him...she truly lost a soulmate....all from greed.

I'll try and be there with my family.
