I lost my health insurance through no fault of my own and have to jump through a bureaucratic nightmare to get it back in about 3-4 months at the earliest. I'm struggling to find any affordability program I qualify for that still has open enrollment, and the work I CAN still physically do is scarce.

I never wanted to make my current medical situation public, because I still want to work and don't want people to think I may be unreliable in regards to what I can still do. However, I am looking at a situation that may leave me stuck in bed and in agony for at least a month, at best. Again.

Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act are both under attack by the current president. People like me are on the chopping block, and without treatment, I'm at high risk of becoming completely unable to work. I would have lost my large intestine as a teenager if the ACA didn't come in when it did.

Please keep talking about the need for major healthcare reform. Last month started a dialog that bridged the political divide that people like me and their families need so badly right now. We don't want to be left to suffer for the sake of profit margins, and we're scared of what's on the horizon.
