2. A young woman spoke at an event at
Howard University the other day. Michael Steele was the main speaker, and the young woman wasn't a student at Howard University, where the event took place.

She talked about her mother, who had died a few months earlier, of cancer, because she couldn't afford three of the six medications she had been prescribed for her cancer.

Her mother DIED because she couldn't pay for the medication that would have helped her.

Steele mocked her, in as ugly a way as I've ever seen.

Imagine a daughter living her life knowing her mother might have been with her if only she'd had insurance, or a bit more money..............................
