I'm SO grateful to have health ins & access to skilled MDs!

I'm 1 1/2 yrs post-op for multi-level ACDF spinal fusion. My spinal cord (and various nerves) were compressed, impacting my ability to see, reach, grasp, & walk.

My bill? Nearly $100,000! 👀
Insurance saves lives!

Is this what Americans died for? Senator Duckworth is a critical reminder of what's at stake. Where are the Generals who swore an oath to the Constitution? We've already seen elected democrats are incapable of standing up to fascism.

We all know seniors are at high risk, children have died from covid. Fascists have determined old people along those not lilly white are expendible.

I’ve had a rare form of leukemia for five years. If it were not for insurance, I would without a doubt be dead. This is an extraoridnarily expensive disease to treat. Blood tests, genetic testing, bone marrow biopsies, numerous hospitalizations and monthly prescriptions. #HealthCareHorrorStories

First, I hope your prognosis is good! I had kidney cancer last May, then a stroke in August. I pay a single coverage of 500 per month with around 10k deductible. I'll be paying monthly for a few years to pay down my medical debt. Not a horror story but still...

A year ago, my husband and I were decorating our Christmas tree collecting decorations from the basement when I turned and saw him from up the stairs, hunched over white as a sheet and breathing heavily.

Read these #HealthCareHorrorStories. They are real!

Sorry to hear that, man. Very glad that you have insurance! My #HealthcareHorrorStories are still being written. I have severe osteoarthritis, and what was initially diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis may very well be Parkinson’s.

I’m scared enough, but would be SOL if not for insurance. I’m only 44

Got a horror story? Let's hear it!

I'd owe tens of thousands of dollars if I didn't have insurance. We HAVE to save Medicaid from the GOP's attacks.
