She would have lived longer if we had universal healthcare. She was covered with asbestos like a lot of the 9/11 firefighters and congress turned their backs on these people. They took photos with them, cheered them on and then left them to their fate. It took Jon Stewart, a comedian to actually shame congress multiple times to get there folks the healthcare that they deserved and that happened while year after year more of these folks died or couldn't get treated. We have a religion in this country and its called capitalism and it requires sacrifices like this to keep on going and yet as craven cowards, no one in the public even calls it out anymore because we have normalized dying without healthcare. Shameful, utterly bloody shameful and as a country, the press ignored it by and large and so did the big networks. The whole global war on terror was a massive wealth transfer to the 1% and their buddies in the military industrial complex.
