Brain cancer at 21. Piano comeback at 51. Mr. G from PIX11 came to Merkin Hall and told my story to millions of New Yorkers.

My Dad was with me every second during treatment. But the system still forced him to spend his nights in the basement on a fax machine fighting insurance while I was fighting to survive.

"You should not have to fight your insurance more than you fight your cancer. You should not have to fight them at all."

That line made the broadcast. Four minutes on the News at 4 and again at 11.

WE THE PATIENTS: Understanding, Navigating, and Surviving America's Healthcare Nightmare is out now wherever books are sold.

Drop your story in the comments. Every voice adds pressure to a system that counts on our silence.
