Guaranteed Healthcare

I have a chronic illness, diabetes type 1. I have been uninsured for about 4 yrs due to this fact. There was a rider on any insurances I applied for due to my diabetes. I have been healthy and use preventative measures to stay that way.

One year ago, I had a hypoglycemic attack, which caused me to be hospitalized. I was in the hospital for 4 days. I received a bill for $37,000, which evenually was forwarded to a collection agency. I paid minimum payments to the hospital, and each time I paid they did not give me the total paid or any other info. I was never seen by a case manager or any other individual that might have given me a way to resolve this.

At the present time, I am unemployed, looking for a job, yet still have to maintain payments to collection agency, and also to an ER physicians organization. This has been the most horrendous experience of my life! I always had health insurance. Now due to my diabetes I have none! What a system we live in. I went to SICKO and it made me cry, because I have dealt with individuals in the hospital with the same experience as myself. It is pathetic! Something needs to be done, NOW!
