I don't understand. I deal with a very serious medical condition and I "go to the very best in the entire world." I shared my doctor with Ella Fitzgerald when she was alive, I sat in the office with the Sultan of Indonesia (only one sultan left there), my same doctor was flown to Saudi Arabia to treat members of the royal family; I have a medical condition similar to all these folks. I consider myself "fortunate," yes, but for sure I am not "part of the ultra rich." Am I missing something? If so, what? Angelina Jolie still, in the end, had to make her own decision, just as anyone would who comes up with a mutation on BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 (which I was indeed fortunate not to...).
