We are senior citizens, therefore on a reduced income. We are required to have three insurances each. Our medicine insurance costs more to have then it pays for. We originally chose a drug insurance policy that had no donut whole because I had had four heart attacks but the company never notified us that they cancelled the donut hole and reduced the benifits without telling us. Four months ago I received a heart transplant. I will never be able to get good drug insurance again so will be stuck with this dishonest insurance company that refuses every request for meds made but we have to have the drug insurance or will have to pay more if we need it. Our health insurance goes up every year and the insurance we have to protect us when medicare coverage ends will also go up. Meds are costly, food is costly and gasoline is crazy! This is not our us again. Our leaders don't even care when the products we receive from China poison our children and adults! My husband and I are both for Good, affordable health insurance for all! Lets get someone who cares into office instead of the same old, same old.
