Answers:
I am anemic as well and I got it when I had my 2nd Cesarean...even though I highly doubt your nephew got it that way...LOL. And my youngest son suffers from it as well.

Iron pills work well and leafy green veggies help but I totally understand how he feels when he loses energy. There have been times where I would sleep for 20 hours straight. No bathroom breaks either.

I am also uninsured and being that my husband is fighting with the SSA to get disability due to back surgery, it is a hassle. Health Question & Answer

I disagree with the 1st poster. The AMA wants to treat people. Socialized medicine is not going to make doctors rich.

As far as the anemia goes:
You don't say how old he is, but it is somewhat concerning for a young male to have anemia. The fact that it is Iron deficient might be associated with bleeding. Where he might be bleeding from would need t be evaluated, probably the GI tract somewhere. Other causes of anemia in young males often leads to one of the luekemias. Last thought is a hormone secreting tumor (not necessarily cancer) or a Kidney problem.

I hope he gets treated and better soon.Health Question & Answer

Sorry about your nephew. This is another reason to vote for Obama because he will tackle the Health problems by fighting the insurance companies for lower rates. Hospitals and Doctors pay excessively high malpractice insurance.The other thing is people who go to the emergency room where they can not be turned down and when they don't or can't pay the hospital divides the bill among the paying clients ergo their our insurance companies thus raising our rates.Health Question & Answer

Of course the AMA is going to push socialized healthcare. It is easy money for their members.
BTW, you nephew cannot be denied healthcare because of inability to pay.
He just needs to go to a hospital emergency room. He _will_ be expected to pay what he can, but there are programs in place to help.
EDIT: Poster below me is correct. The AMA and its members want to _treat_ disease NOT CURE IT.
There is a great deal more profit in the treatment than in the cure.
Socialized medicine promotes ongoing attention rather than research for removal of problems.
That "treat rather than cure" attitude is currently all too pervasive and will only get worse with nationalized medicine.Health Question & Answer

I have all my life with "Free: health care in the UK and Canada.
We spend almost half the average amount per person on healthcare.
I see the doctor of my choice, money is never discussed unless its for non medical reasons (fill in my passport renewal)
The system is not perfect because it has people and politicians involved.
I can see my doctor today if needed, I may wait a week for a test if not an emergency, but I know nobody that has been to the states for treatment, although I read about the ones that do like there is a flood over the border.
I read about someone who died in the states because they couldn't afford treatment, when my advice would be to spend your last penny on a bus to Canada.
Health care in the states is designed to make the maximum money treating the minimum people.
The fact Canadians live 3 years longer isn't even the issue

For the first time, as insurance became more wide spread, Heart disease and cancer has slipped down into 2nd and 3rd place as cause of death. Medical care has become the leading cause of death in this country, The ins. cos. limit treatments, pass laws to limit mal practice settlements, and pay Drs so little that they go to a volume business hiring physician assistants. "Health care provider" doen not mean Dr. Now there's a law up to prevent lawsuits against drug cos. whose products cause injury or death. Health Question & Answer

Well, he could also take iron suppliments, they aren't very expensive.

I wish I had more advice on how to get insured, but I can't get insurance myself, because of a previously existing condition (genetic hearing problem).

Good luck and I hope that he's able to get the medical care that he needs.
