Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He tokorua i marenatia i a rātau i te taiohi, ā, e mate ana i te cystic fibrosis, kei te whakataetae ki te wā i te wā e tatari ana te wahine taitamariki ki te whakatipuranga o te paru hei whakaora i te ora. I kitea a Katie Prager, 24 tau, he mate kei roto i ona kōhauhau i te Mahuru 2009 a kei te tino hiahia ia ki te whakato i te mea i matapae nga taote kaore ia e ora i te tau kotahi ki te kore he kōhauhau hou. I a ia e haere tonu ana te kino o tona hauora, kei te tono tana tahu, a Dalton, 23, kua oti nei i a ia te whakawhiwhi i nga manawa hou, ki te awhina. Ko tana kamupene inihua, ko Kentucky Medicaid, e kore e utu mo te maimoatanga i waho o te kawanatanga e hiahiatia ana e ia i te Whare Wananga o Pittsburgh Medical Center, e ai ki a ia. I tohe a Dalton: 'Kei te huri ratou i taku wahine hei tau, hei tatauranga, hei tohu taara. Kāore e taea e au te ngaro i a ia. Kāore e taea e tēnei te mutunga o tā mātau kōrero aroha. 'Kei te rite tonu maua ki te whawhai, engari i tēnei wā kei te pau ngā kōwhiringa, ā, me hiahia mātou ki tōu āwhina. Āwhina mai ki te whakaora i taku wahine, i a Katie.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Katie raua ko Dalton Prager (i runga ake nei), e mate ana i te cystic fibrosis, i whai i o ratau ngakau ka marena i te tau 2011 i te wa o te taiohi. I kitea a Katie, i te taha maui, he mate i roto i ona huhu e kiia ana ko Burkholderia Cepacia, a he tino hiahia ia ki te whakatipu i te mea i matapae nga taakuta kaore ia e ora i te tau kaore he paru hou. Kua whiwhi kē a Dalton i ngā pūpū hōu, engari kei te tatari a Katie nā te mea kāore a Kentucky Medicaid e utu i te maimoatanga i waho o te kāwanatanga e hiahiatia ana e ia ki te Whare Wānanga o Pittsburgh Medical Center. Mo te tokorua i whakatakoto i nga mea katoa i runga i te raina i te wa i tutaki ai ratou i te tuatahi i te 2009, kaore e taea e tana tane te whakaaro ki te ngaro i te aroha o tona oranga i marenatia e ia e wha tau ki muri. I te Tihema 2014, i tukuna a Katie mai i te hohipera o Pittsburgh i muri i te noho roa ka hoki ki Kentucky, engari i tiimata tana raru ki te manawa i nga ra e toru i muri mai. Kaore te hōhipera i whakaae ki te whakauru ia ia no te mea kaore a Medicare e utu na te mea kua pau i a ia te roa o tona oranga, e kii ana te tokorua. E kore ia e utua mō te tukanga hauora utu nui i waho o te kāwanatanga, kia 60 rā anō ia e noho ana i waho o te hōhipera. I whakaaetia ia...
I tutaki a Katie rāua ko Dalton Prager, 24 rāua ko 23, i te tau 2009 ā, i marenatia e rua tau i muri mai. Kei te mamae raua tokorua i te cystic fibrosis, ana i te marama o Noema 2014, i whiwhi a Dalton i nga kopu hou. Kei te tatari tonu a Katie ki te whakatipu paru na te mea kaore te kamupene inihua e utu mo te maimoatanga o waho o te kawanatanga e hiahiatia ana e ia, e ai ki tana tane. E matapae ana nga taote e kore ia e ora i te tau kotahi ki te kore he huhu hou. 'Kei te hurihia e rātau taku wahine hei tau, hei tatauranga, hei tohu tāra. Kāore e taea e au te ngaro i a ia. Kāore e taea e tēnei te mutunga o tā mātau kōrero aroha,' ka inoi a Dalton.
