Brooklyn, NY
I have MS, osterperosis, stenosis and failing hearing. My husband is diabetic. Between the two of us we ave 9 prescription meds. Additionally, I use alternative supplements and treatments which are costly. We pay over $25,000 annually out of poccket for health care and we have insurance through my husband's employment. Although I am grateful for this insurance and my relatively well=managed health, I am outraged that healthcare is so expensive abd that it is non existant for so many Americans.
