Jill Stanek explains that the stem cell recipient, exemplified in a recent Obama speech to the joint session of congress, did not die due to a lack of insurance. He in fact got the ADULT stem cell transplant, and lived for another four years.
His insurance was reinstated very quickly after having been rescinded, and he received treatment as planned.
However…… Remember that Obama has RESCINDED funding for the ADULT stem cell research which served to prolong this patient’s life, in favor of the embryonic stem cell research, which has been remarkably unsuccessful thus far.
