Health insurance ! Medicare ! Do you have any of this?

Tweet

I am a American from the day I was born. But I grew up in Germany went to school there worked there. In Germany everybody has health insurance from the day you are born till you die. I had six surgerys over there and didn't have to pay for it. When I moved to the USA to take care of my dad I lost that . Two month later I already had a hospital bill from $6000 because I had to stay one night in there and a cat scan. A year later I broke my ankle but I refused to go to the hospital my hubby made a cast for me as good as he could I applied for Medicare and after three years waiting for my hearing they deny it, even that I told that I don't want money just that I can pay my doc. And my meds. For someone who grew up with a health system like in Germany it was very hard for me to believe that I don't get any here! Cause I worked in Germany I get my disability from there and I thought I could buy me some kind of insurance but cause I had cancer years ago only two company's offered me a insurance what I can't afford ! I am wondering how many people are without insurance and what do you do to handle it?
