catherine howard was 29, self-employed and living in san francisco. she bought a health insurance policy she thought was perfect for her, a healthy young person. but then cancer struck and she found she was other hook for thousands of dollars in uncovered expenses. our photo journalist, jeff king, has her tell the story in today's "health care and focus" piece. >>> i have a great job. but i live like a pauper because i basically spend all of my money servicing the debt that i accrued while i was sick. in 2004, i was working as a documentary film producer. i wasn't making a lot of money but i knew that keeping up my health insurance was a priority. i was afraid that i would break my arm snowboarding or take a fall at work. i picked up the phone and i said, i would like to buy some health insurance, please. and this is the outcome. i ended up almost $100,000 in debt after being diagnosed with breast cancer. having surgery and chemo therapy, radiation. so many of these things, i put them on my credit card. i thought, if i don't die i'll deal with it late
