My cousin Molly, her partner John (who’s got the New Orleans connection and happens to be a badass documentary-maker), and their awesome kid Ivo are in a jam. John thought he had chronic asthma for the past ten years; Kaiser blocked his efforts to get a CAT scan, and when he ditched them for coverage elsewhere he discovered he had a lung tumor. Then it collapsed. He’s facing a bazillion dollar bill for his procedure, and $60,000 down payment. It’s really horrible and I love these people, so in the spirit of Five Dollar Friday, here’s a link to John’s fundraising page.

OH HEALTH CARE. Can we fix this, please? Haven’t there been enough stories like this to get us all to come together on this one? Hello? Is this thing on??
