News » Woman who fought cancer can't afford insurance
Mar. 19, 2010
As she plans a benefit for a friend who has cancer but no health insurance, an Appleton woman is following what's happening with the federal proposal to reform the health care system.
Linda Papenfuss is a cancer survivor, and she did have insurance when she was diagnosed. She says she knew he had to get involved when her friend Cari Pahl was diagnosed with kidney cancer.
Papenfuss says dealing with a serious illness is hard enough, but without insurance, it's a nightmare.
Since her cancer diagnosis and treatment, Papenfuss lost her health insurance. She says it's keeping her from getting her recommended checkups to make sure the cancer has not returned.
Papenfuss says she hopes Congress passes meaningful health care reform soon. In the meantime, she'll continue planning the benefit for Pahl. It's scheduled for April 18 at Fox Banquets in Appleton. |
