Apres Angelina Jolie

1. It's great that she went public.
2. It's great that people are talking about breast cancer and surgery and the gene mutations.

4. To read about a woman's detailed experience of the prophylactic double mastectomy, see: Goodbye to Boobs.
5. If Jolie didn't have health insurance, she would be up a creek.

Without the proverbial paddle.
