11 years in this chair has brought on a few more health problems, it is nice to be able to see a doctor more then once every 5 years. Plenty of times I paid out of my pocket $1500 or more in a month to cover medical supplies. Why does it cost so much? I found the word Medical to be one of the most expensive words. I can take a stick of gum & put the word medical in front of the name and it will go up in price 500%. Now why would someone spend so much money on medical? Well, when I got paralyzed I found out that either you get the Medical supplies or you DIE.
If you have a disability & have tried to get health insurance on your own it flat out SUCKS. Most insurance companies would not cover me and the one I found that would cost $1550 a month. After a few questions I found out $1550 a month would cover NOTHING. I didn't go to the doctor for 5 years so why did it cost so much & why would I pay for something that covered NOTHING? I didn't pay & I didn't have insurance for 3 years.
Freedom: To me this bill will give people a chance to become more productive members of our society. I have past on a few jobs & opportunities because of the fear of not having or losing my health insurance. It's not a great feeling to know that one is uninsurable. The fact is life changing disabilities do happen everyday & they can happen to anyone! I look forward to not having the challenge of being uninsurable & when its all just a thing of the past.
