An article in the Auburn (CA) Journal (Comedian Turns Spotlight On Healthcare) tells of comedian, producer and booker Grace White, who has inoperable lung cancer.

Though she still has lung cancer, White wants everyone to know she still fully intends to “kick cancer’s butt.”

And she’s even more determined to shine a spotlight on the healthcare crisis.

We wish her luck in vanquishing her cancer, but we aren’t exactly onboard with the part about this country’s “healthcare crisis.”

White has insurance (her daughter purchased it for her), but she says that it’s “absurd that in the richest country in the world there are 47 million people without health insurance.”

“The best thing people can do for me is to write their Congressmen about the healthcare crisis,” White concluded. “Insurance is too expensive for even working families to afford. Baby boomers alone could change the laws if all of them would use their voice.”
