Affordable healthcare? Ha, yeah right!

So, my government healthcare insurance has been denied and cancelled because I make too much money. Now, this insurance is for me and my son, he is still allowed to receive full benefits… thank goodness for that. My monthly income is around 800 after taxes. So, on top of bills, I will now have to try and pay for my medical issues as well.

If you not read my blog before, I have a bladder disease called interstitial cystitis. I give myself 2 catheter installations a day as well as take a daily oral medication. These medicines are costly. I have to go to the doctor and my specialists every few months. Also, due to my catheter installations my body is more prone to urinary tract infections.

Due to making about $300 over the 2 person family income limit, I now can not afford my medications and can not go to the doctor. What the hell am I to do now?

I have checked out the websites for affordable health care, but it is not really affordable. If I were to get insurance it would cost me about half my paycheck a week. What the fuck?? If my health goes down hill oh well huh? The people of this country do not give a shit about anyone but themselves (and money), especially our governments.

The government claims they have affordable health care insurance, but what they don’t mention is that it’s only really affordable if you are already monetarily wealthy. What about the middle class? Or those who actually work, but are still in the poverty level? In order for me to be able to have health insurance I would need to basically quit my job and become a bum. Sorry, I need my job.

I guess I will have to live without insurance and my medications, once it runs out.

I wish my voice, opinions, and thoughts actually counted for something in this life…

Anyway, I am sending out good vibes and warm wishes to you all!

    I wish people would stop electing politicians that promise to make our lives better, they never do. All the “affordable care act” did was make it harder for the working class to afford health insurance.

    My heart goes out to you, I have a friend going through a similar issue. She has a list of ailments that she takes medication for, and the changes to the insurance laws caused her insurance to rise above what is affordable.

    Unfortunately, once our government gets involved in something it only gets worse.
