MODESTO

I’m sick – sick of not having healthcare. I work my tail off to provide for my family and I know my husband does too, but we just can’t afford a health insurance premium.

As a nursing student, I see first hand the high costs and the stress people have to deal with when they don’t have insurance. Most of the people I see come into the emergency room because they couldn’t afford to see a doctor when they got sick in the first place.

I was always taught that if you worked hard, you would be able to afford what you needed in life. It is really sad that so many working people are not able to find affordable health insurance for their families.
