Getting screwed

Erich
Jacksonville, FL
Heathcare Status: Uninsured

I have had a chronic problem with asthma and recently it had gotten worse. I went to see a doctor, and they charged me double than a patient with insurance . Then I go to the pharmacy and end up paying 20 percent more than someone with health insurance . I come from a middle income family and it's either I buy my drugs and see my doctors or go to college .My family can't afford insurance, and so we had to take out loans for my breathing treatments
