Unfortunately, I fear we will see many more of these cases.

A grandmother with an aggressive brain tumor has died after waiting more than two months for insurance coverage because of mixups with Nevada’s health care exchange.
The family of Linda Rolain, 64, who passed away on Monday, had joined two lawsuits against the State of Nevada and the company that built its troubled online software, Xerox, since April.
‘I came in, held her hand,’ her devastated husband of 45 years, Robert, told KTNV. ‘I whispered in her ear “I love you, I’m gonna be fine”. She knew she was gonna die. She really knew it.’
The state launched the Silver State Exchange in October in response to President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act – but it was fraught with problems and Xerox was finally dropped in May.
