I am 25 years old and I do not have any insurance at all. I don't make enough money at my job to buy my own and I do not get enough hours at work to be covered by the company. I have needed dental surgery for the past two years but I have no way of paying for it. I am worried that the damage that will be done will be beyond repair by the time I get to have the surgery. If we lived in a country where a hard-working person could afford health care, I would not be in this situation and neither would so many others.
