My son is 24, still in college and has been dropped from my healthcare plan. He has problems with his teeth and his mental health and he can't take care of either. He makes barely enough money to continue his schooling to which he is now in serious debt. I don't see this problem changing for the better in the future. We need healthcare now so his future will be a healthy one. I'm retiring and my prescription benefits expire. On my very small pension how will I afford prescriptions for my husband and my underage daughter? These problems are not going away anytime soon. How will we survive? Quality of living is dropping severely for us all and I am frightened and don't know where to turn.
