It's Not Just About the Uninsured These Days

Managed Care Outlook 07/01/09 – HealthWell Foundation board member David Knowlton discusses the rising costs associated with health care and the need for any reform that does occur to address both the un- and underinsured.  

Testimonial

This letter is to express our appreciation for the recent notification that your award for my wife Ruth for 2008-2009 has been increased to $8,000. This news comes at a most welcome time given the difficulties of our economy in general, our personal financial situation, and Ruth’s daily struggle with MDS and the iron overload that comes with transfusions every two weeks. We are most grateful for your generosity and that of your donors. With your assistance, Ruth’s iron overload has been reduced significantly. Thank you for the good work you do.

—Frank, Valley, NE
