Op-ed: No One Is Invincible
ANDREW CRAY- MARCH 13 2014

"I was once invincible. Or so I thought.

Like many young people, I was convinced that worries about my health were a world away. That is, until my whole world came crashing down around me last September.

For the last several years, I have worked with many talented and dedicated people to make sure that LGBT people are included in the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, but my work took on a whole new meaning for me when I learned that at age 27, I had cancer."

I knew a girl in my high school class who died of ovarian cancer a year after graduation. I knew another a year or so younger than myself who died from colon cancer. Cancer can certainly strike the young. Of course, there are plenty of horrible other diseases as well. Expanding healthcare coverage is literally a matter of life and death.
