I tried not to post, but I couldn't stop myself.
Access to healthcare is not just a financial issue, it is a human rights issue. Healthcare should not be a privledge only for the employed.
I benefited from healthcare reform when I was able to get insurance coverage through my state's high risk pool. Although I was working over 40 hrs per week, I am an independent contractor. No private insurance company would touch me because of my psychiatric treatment. Thankfully, I was able to get fairly reasonably priced insurance after a mandatory 6 month uninsured waiting period.
Best,
EE
