Why Health Reform Will Happen: Real People Explain Why They're Fed Up

Posted on August 27, 2009 by Andrea Kovach

This week the Shriver Center and United Power for Action and Justice collected stories from three individuals who find they cannot rely on their health insurance during times of transition or hardship.  Families should be able to provide adequate health care for their children and individuals should have the proper access to preventive care.  We cannot afford to wait for affordable and secure health care.  These stories illustrate the need for health reform that provides peace of mind no matter what life might throw your way: A new mother cannot afford to pay for her hospital bills and a new daycare expense.  A family of six worries about paying for essential drugs and regular doctor visits.  A man faces discrimination when applying for individual private insurance.
