    I went without health insurance for years and I have epilepsy. The constant fear I was in daily, no Republican understands.

    I made $17 an hour and health insurance was $400 a month. Now it would be closer to $1700 a month looking at my options.

    Any time, any day I could have a seizure and would be homeless.

    I suggest all people who voted to raise our premiums by 3 times should have their health insurance taken away.

      In a sense that is precisely what is happening. Just with a lot of collateral damage.

      My partner also has epilepsy and has to take anti-convulsants every day. If it weren’t for subsidized Canadian Healthcare, I don’t know if he would’ve been alive to meet me when he did.
