Prediction Markets and the 2008 Electoral Map 813
Electionwatch submitted a predicted electoral map of the 2008 US Presidential election, based on the bets made by the intrade prediction markets. I'm always interested in these markets and how accurate they end up being. This one calls it for Obama, but then again you probably could guess that by just watching 10 minutes of any TV "News" channel.

1) Get donations from friends/family/community to pay for expensive treatments.
2) Petition friends/family/community and your representatives to overturn the laws preventing less expensive treatments from existence (laws created by corrupt politicians backed by corrupt companies).

One of a few things could/should happen:
1. An organization backed through donations provides the service.
2. An unfunded organization provides the service (could not last).
3. The service provider permits the individual to pay back through a loan (and if the provider does not offer that, the individual finds one that does).
4. A friend/family member covers the cost (permanently or temporarily).
