Guaranteed Healthcare

 I am a young 51 year old female and I need surgery. I am un-insurable and in pain 7 days a week 24 hours a day. Some days are better then others, but the good days are becoming fewer. In my younger years I never was concerned about health insurance. I always had it. It was there when I delivered my son. It was there when my son stuck a Christmas bead up his nose. It was there when my son injured his eye and required surgery. I was always lucky enough to work at places that provided good insurance. I was raised always having good insurance. I don't know what to do without it.

Then one day in 2005 I got hurt. Not the small hurt that may cause broken bones, but long term hurt. The kind that eventually gets you on the un-insurable list when the hurt is so bad that you can no longer work. I can afford insurance, but no one will sell it to me. I used to love swimming, boating, sleeping and making love. Now I just try to get through the day. I have a bad left arm, the result of several injuries, and I have a very bad neck. My neck is so bad that I currently require surgery. My one last hope was to get on Social Security Disability so that Medicare would eventually cover the cost of my surgery. I was just denied last month.

Being denied SSDI is the same as being denied health care again. What am I suppose to do? I worked my entire life, my only child, my son, was sent off to fight the war in Iraq for this country, and his mother can not buy health insurance. I never thought I would be in this position. No one in my family has ever been disabled before. For God Sakes, my aunt was dying of cancer at the age of 76 and still insisted on working just months prior to her death. So here I am. Only 51, and too young to be crippled. Yes, I know that word is politically unacceptable today, but that is what I am. I just would love another chance at life. Please help me live again. Thank you, Lori
