73 cents: A mural of Her Husband's Death from Kidney Cancer, and the Public Option

[NNadir]

I generally don't read AOL, but for some reason I did today.

There's this tale, a woman painting a mural of her husband's death, at 39, from Kidney cancer:

1. Same here, I avoid AOL, but this caught my eye...

..reminds you that there is a great need for SERIOUS discussion and SERIOUS reform...and all we're getting are teabaggers and Blew Dogs.

2. The mural is apparently featured in the British Medical Journal.

They have health care in Britain.

3. I'm a two year survivor of kidney cancer

I hope, still waiting to hear the results of my latest CT scan. They caught mine early because I have health insurance and could go get the tests that detected it. A couple of blood cells in my urine from a routine checkup sent me to a specialist and to get a CT scan.

Thanks for posting this I'll have to go see it.

4. Even at AOL

The online poll shows 65% support for the public option.
