Go to www.matriot.org to see a whole show of people being turned away, including my own story. I had worked 10 years for a state job with total health insurance coverage. When I moved and started my own business, I could not afford the $400 in health insurance per month, so I thought, "What can happen in a year, I've been healthy." I got ovarian cancer 6 months later. I had a doctor walk away from me, a social worker tell me I had to be terminal to get care. I knew I would be terminal if I didn't get surgery right away.  (Jul 27, 2009 | post #131)
