Native American (Choctaw) writer and filmmaker Natalie Noel of Mobile, Alabama, testified before a Congressional panel this week examining personal stories showing the tragedy of inaccessibility to health care in the corrupt, corporate, for-profit system in the U.S.

The breast cancer survivor lost her coverage following a year long battle for her life. My good friend Andrew Kreig published a story about the hearing today in the celebrity tabloid “Internet Newspaper,” The Huffington Post.

Hope for Health Option, Defeat Possible

Documentary filmmaker Robert Corsini flew in from Los Angeles to cover the hearing. He is expected to publish his own account in Truthout shortly. Corsini and Noel, his co-producer, are working on a documentary about post-Katrina recovery efforts in Louisiana and Mississippi.
