The plight of not having insurance or adequate insurance is not a situation many people can understand unless they have actually been there. That feeling of knowing a broken wrist could set you back financially or that a doctor's visit will eat up your monthly budget is a terrible one. Cynthia Campbell knows the feeling all too well. Campbell is battling stage IV cancer and will lose her temporary insurance policy as of July 20.

Temporary insurance policies are handy when you are in between jobs or waiting for a newer, better policy to take effect. But temporary policies to not smile upon too many claims and can often be hard to renew, as in Campbell's situation.

Currently Campbell is interviewing for several nursing positions that will provide full coverage if she is hired. Although she needs to rest and will require additional care for her cancer, it could be her only chance for adequate health coverage.
