I am the face of the uninsured American. I am not lazy. I do not live off of welfare. I've never had food stamps before. I don't want my fellow Americans to die so I may live. I'm just hoping for a brighter tomorrow. Affordable healthcare so I may get the physical I need each year. A decent doctor's bill when I've had to go to the doctor for a cold. I don't want to have to pay half of my pay check for a check up from my doctor. I'm tired of at home remedies and ailments that don't and won't go away because I can't get to a doctor.
I'm tired of living each day in the fear that if I have a car accident or become terminally ill there is no hope for me. I make too much for government assistance right now. I make too little to pay out huge sums for health insurance for a single person. My job has too little employees and half have insurance so we don't have insurance on my job.
I'm tired of all these ultra-uninformed Conservatives not even giving Obama a chance to help me and countless others. I work hard and I hope that I can have a little extra help. I won't be getting married until next year. When I do I'll finally have insurance but until then I must wait...
