. >> plas baiten, you want to add anything? >> i was going to say that a lot of people in my cancer group, they get letters like this, they just give up. they fade away and they die. >> you were fortunate, you had a ranking member here in congressman barton who intervened or else you might not be here. was it clear from the insurance company that 23 you didn't have a u.s. congressman working on your behalf that your insurance wouldn't have been reinstated? >> there's no doubt in the world that if it hadn't been for him that they wouldn't have given me the blink of an eye. you don't know how many hours they worked on this. this took a long time. this was like a month, many, many months process. it didn't happen overnight. so for his office to take that kind of dedication, i'll be forever grateful. if i live and don't die of cancer, it will be because of them. only because of my congressman, only because of him did i get help for the cancer. if it wasn't for that it never would have happened. ms. raditz, parallel to ms. baiten an
