I have had a torn tendon in my ankle for over a YEAR now. I have to use a medical boot to get around and sometimes crutches. I've been doing this for a year, and until I got my car, I was doing it using public transportation.
I can't wear two of the same shoe because my mother's insurance through her work won't cover me, and I don't work as I'm a full-time student.
Obama's healthcare bill is ACTUALLY going to allow me to be put on my mom's insurance again, so I can get the specialist appointment, the MRI and the surgery I need to walk like a normal human being again.
People who tend to support the repeal of this bill tend to be people with health insurance, I've noticed. It's easy to throw stones when you've nothing to worry about. (And I've looked up healthcare for myself. The cheapest rate I found for someone my age was $200 a month. I could afford that if I never ate, filled up my gas tank or paid utilities again.)
