CNN interviewed a friend

I can’t really call him a friend…what do you call the relationship you have with someone online that you talk to in an online forum? Friend is the best description.
I met Mark when I joined a Chondrosarcoma support group to meet others who are suffering from Chondrosarcoma, the cancer that my daughter has. Mark was going through a difficult time. He knew the tumor in his neck was growing, and he had no insurance because he was self-employed. No doctor would even look his way.
Here is his interview with CNN. He tells the story better in his own words.

Thank you for bringing our internet friend, Mark’s story up in your blog, dear cyberfriend. His story must not be forgotten.
“I’m angry at the greed of the insurance companies,” Windsor said. “Everybody has the right to make profits. Every corporation has the right to be strong, make the right decisions. But I don’t think that it is proper to deny people with chronic disease the opportunity to get well.”
Who can argue with that?
Not me.
