Is anybody else screwed at the moment because they don't have health insurance?

[Anonymous]

I work 2 part time jobs which is all I have acess too and I still can't afford health insurance. So if I get sick I basically just have to tough it out. And I pray to God I don't get injured. Anyone else have the same problem?

I'm on the exact same boat :(

I'm a full time student at the best university in DC, working two jobs, while busing tables on occasion and I still have no health insurance :/

I thought I caught pneumonia not to long ago because my boyfriend had it and I had to illegally acquire drugs for it :/

And when I had health insurance they found a lump in a very difficult spot... and I'm getting it removed next week. I have no idea how I'm making rent... I'm just honestly not going to make it :/

And I love my country, I really do, but this sort of bull is unacceptable. This is one of the few things I hate about the US, and one of the main reasons why I've considered leaving.

This IS the reason why I hate the US. Your lucky that you can leave at least. I can't : / I guess my only option as a dire last resort would be to get arrested and go prison where healthcare is provided for free.

I'm not sure if I can leave, but I'll find a way :P Lets start a healthcare riot :]!

[Asker]

Im with you on that. Tell me when and where.

No, I have insurance, I'm under my dads and I'll be on it until I'm 26(yea, he finally decided to step up and be a dad lmao)

I don't have health insurance and it doesn't bother me. I'm not too happy about being forced to buy it soon either. I'd rather those f***s not get a hold of any of my money.

You could buy health insurance still...wouldn't you have to pay for it anyways if you had a full time job?

That sucks =/, I'm on my parents insurance until I turn 26 even tho I don't live with them.

[Asker]

Because of President Obama's new healthcare law?

[Corrupt_Others]

yep, my mother was laid off & dad is self employed, so I lost the insurance I was planning on having until I was 26. I am a full time student, including in the summer, and just starting a new job soon. I do get dental covered though because I'm 1/8 native american. I'm lucky; I don't have any current health problems & there are people worse off than me..

Move to Canada. Free health care and pure hockey on TV this time of year.

Doesnt it take like 4 years to become a full time resident?

[lundmark85]

Something like that. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

Try cancer and no insurance...and having the very limited chance of ever getting health insurance again...forget about your emergency theory and put that thought onto a daily basis...

Yea

you could get on your parent's insurance until well into your 20's. that should be enough time until you can get a full time job
