I sell Health Insurance and I am uninsured

Bill
Medford, OR
Heathcare Status: Uninsured

I am 62 ( three years from Medicare ) with many health problems, I sell health insurance and I can't get a policy to cover me. In my past, I was a small business owner with around 50 employees we always had health insurance for our folks so I have spent millions on insurance but now the company is closed due to the economic conditions and I can't get insurance. I am one of the "silent sick" along with millions of others we are too tired and ill to fight for what is right. The conservatives are proud to spend millions and billions on war to save our freedom, but what good is freedom if we are not alive to enjoy it. They are afraid that some minority might get free health coverage, people not like themselves. It is like the Nazis during the second world war...just let them die. Ask them what is a 25 year old mother with three children life worth? How many can we afford to just let die in this country of plenty. Health insurance can't be decided on weather it costs to much or not its how much had it already cost because we dont have any....I know the hit men the "claims ajustors" of insurance companies turn people down all the time that is their jobs to keep the profits for the powerful, so just let them die...that is how it works so the executives can fly in their Lear jets and drink fine booze for free. Let them die the silent sick. It's time for us to stand up and be counted....
