On top of the reasons already mentioned, I also went to Dr. Pimenta because his surgery was much less than anyone I checked with in Germany. I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't, as it took every available cent we had.

Just another issue of having to go without insurance. It stops so many people who need help.
