More on Ann Romney

I do have sympathy for Ann Romeny because of her bout with breast cancer and MS.  However, Mrs. Romeny has the money to get the best doctors and best treatments that money can buy.  My step-daughter has fought breast cancer and is fighting MS.  She does not have the luxury of having the best doctors at her beck and call.  She has to accept what her insurance will provide.  Sometimes it is not much.  She is on a fixed income.  She has to pay for her shots of Avonex.  She has to pay for the necessary aids to help her walk, ie crutches, walkers,safety bars in the bathroom.  Why?  She is not old enough for Medicare and her insurance only pays a pittance for these necessary items.  Ann Romeny will have all the help she needs as the MS progresses.  My step-daughter will have to look forward to assisted living.  Again, Ann Romney has no clue how the rest of us cope.  She now lives and has always lived in a gilded cage.  I do not envy her her money.  I do resent the fact that she tries to present herself as "just like every other woman."  This in itself is a lie.
