we need to brainstorm ways to prevent our economic marginalization

[Guest guest]

Does anyone else here think that since we all seem to be facing

similar, serious problems economically as a result of our illness,

that we need to figure out ways that we can get some semblance of

economic security back...

Health insurance issues in particular are an important thing that we

need to coordinate our efforts on. It seems to me as if our needs are

similar enough for us to perhaps get some kind of benefit from

negotiating for medical services as a group? Package deals on testing,

etc. could save people a lot of money and make tests available that

might otherwise be prohibiively expensive.

Does this make sense to people?
