Whose mother will die when Bipartisan Fiscal Cliff changes are put in place?

Her mother would have quite probably died last year if the specific change now being negotiated by Republicans and Democrats was in place: a brain tumor had substantially impaired her mental faculties to the point that she stopped making payments and lost her standing health insurance plan.

When a group of her closest acquaintances found out was happening they intervened.  

This person's mother had just turned 65. And though it was a bureaucratic nightmare to expedite the coverage, they did.

She had brain surgery a few weeks later to remove a grapefruit-sized growth and is now happy and healthy....and alive.

Maybe.

Would this happen to our very-well paid and extremely-well-insured Legislators or their families?

I doubt it.
