    About this ebook

    Imagine losing a child because of lack of health insurance. Imagine trying to do everything possible to try to get him the proper care that would save his life. What parent wouldn't give their life to save their child? Then imagine your child being ignored and left to die because his health-care providers thought money was more important than his life. This didn't happen in some third-world country. It happened right here in the USA. My son's death prompted New York State to pass a law in an effort to prevent this from happening. Did you know that New York State has millions of dollars to pay for patients who are poor or uninsured or unaware about help available? No? Well, neither did I. This book is the tragic story of Manuel Lanza, who fell victim to greedy doctors and a system that quite frankly is broken. I'm talking about our "for profit" health-care system. He was left to die because he didn't have health insurance. No one deserves the cruelty that we as a family, but more importantly Manny, went through. No parent should have to bury a child because of greed. No one should decide who lives and dies. No one gave him a chance at life, and in four short months, all his dreams were shattered and we lost our precious son. Then ten years later, my younger son got cancer. This book tells the story of our experiences with our health-care system. Be prepared to read about our emotional roller coaster and read the true details of what happened here in America. It is surely an eye-opener as well as a tearjerker.
