Did you know that, in Florida, Breast Cancer was considered a Pre Existing condition? I lived in FL and applied for health insurance thru my job as a nurse. Turned down because of a history of breast cancer!— Laura St.Cyr (@LauraStCyr3) October 4, 2021
Wishing Casey DeSantis, Florida's First Lady, a speedy and safe recovery from her breast cancer diagnosis. This has nothing to do with politics. Just a kind-hearted and prayerful woman, praying for someone in need. ????
