http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/12/50-pound-tumor-marcey-dicaro_n_5486945.htmlIn 2011, DiCaro noticed that her belly was getting bigger and she felt some transient pain, the hospital said. She had a scan In March 2012 that revealed a tumor but she lacked health insurance.
The hospital canceled surgery slated for 2013 because her insurance company would only pay for a small portion of the full costs, DiCaro said.
The hospital said DiCaro was able to get insurance that would cover pre-existing conditions this year because of a provision in the 2010 Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform law. She underwent surgery on April 17.That tumor... in a sense, is a personification of the problem that Obamacare was intended to fix. I hope they save it.
