My uncle never went to the doc.  Ever.  Was finally convinced by his bro-in-law to get a check up.</p>
<br><p><br>
 </p>
<br><p><br>
Turns out he has prostate cancer.</p>
<br><p><br>
 </p>
<br><p><br>
Now, their insurance coverage through work was canceled staff wide.  Right before he was</p>
<br><p><br>
to begin treatments.  Apparently, since the cancellation was staff wide, COBRA was not available</p>
<br><p><br>
to them and they had to go with a catastrophic policy which will be very prohibitive and dear on</p>
<br><p><br>
their salary.</p>

Glad he went to the doctor and hopefully caught it very early. I think a lot of employees of small employers. (and some large ones) will be doing this. Sux
