How Many Of You Have No Health Insurance?

[leilaswanson]

Just for information how many of you have no insurance at all and are just plain worried?This is not for people that are bashing the ones with no insurance, its bad enough not having it without someone acting like its our fault. Some lost it due to job cutbacks etc. Whatever the reason how are you doing?Any input or venting in a nice way of course.

We have no health insurance.  The company I work for does not supply health insurance so we were providing our own until March.  I received a $19,000 pay cut and we could no longer afford the premium.  Our kids are covered by state insurance, we do pay a small premium based on our income, but my husband and I have none.  I try not to think about it because at this point there is nothing I can do about it.  We are both looking for other employment and I have also started a home business to try and make up the difference that I lost.

I know it is hard and scarey not to have insurance. You just hold your breath hoping nothing comes up. My husband has rheumatoid arthritis and 4 stents so we can not find insurance for him either. Its hard to deal with.
