Ginny Bartlett-Elbert's Bio:

I am a 10 year breast cancer survivor and did not have healthcare at the time of diagnosis. I was on the hope and pray plan due to the high cost of healthcare at that time. I learned how to navigate our broken healthcare system with the help of a few amazing caring doctors. I felt it was important for people to know they can heal personally from something as catastrophic as cancer so I published a book surrounding my journey to share with others. Fast forward to today, I am healthy and on a mission to help individuals, families and business owners like me who are struggling to pay for the healthcare they can't seem to afford and get the care they deserve when they need it.
