Dear Editor:

       One year, while working as a hospital employee, I decided to drop the hospital health insurance and just use the insurance that I was on with my parents. 

        Well I did just that.  But after the deadline for receiving health insurance had passed.  I found out that my parents also, to save money, had dropped me from their insurance.

        I then found out that I was ill and needed an operation, which I could not afford.  So I went to the then Hospital Trustee, Steve Fox with my problem.  Steve Fox found a way to have me added to the hospital’s health insurance after the enrollment period.

         I then had the necessary operation, and it saved my life.

       Steve Fox is the type of person who looks after everyone, he goes out of his way to help people.

 We need people like Steve Fox in the State Legislature.

Sincerely yours,

Laura Leighty
