I know you went through a struggle and I am very sorry for the loss of your father. I think that is horrible how the insurance company dropped you like that. These are the types of situations where I think that affordable healthcare would be great. Do I think that everyone should just be handed heathcare? No. I do not think it will solve problems it will just make the healthcare system worse than it is now.
If the government is in charge of it, i can only imagine how much debt we would be in. The gvt overpays for everything they buy. Insurance companies love to overcharge. That is not a good combo.
and how would "affordable" healthcare coverage help me at that point in time when i was a full-time HS student with no job. Thankfully, i was able to get into the CHIP program and take advantage of that free healthcare. But i only had that for a few months. After that, i was pushed into the "real world" with no coverage.
I'm not asking for free coverage for the rest of my life. I'm asking for a little more help while i need it. $113 a month for pretty much nothing is worthless...especially when you arent making that $113 a month. When i get a job and am on my feet, I'll be more than glad to pay for my own coverage. But until then, I believe that people like myself who are in teh situations like I am, should get help from our government.
