I would die if this happened to me. What has been the hardest thing for you in this change?

Paying medical bills with my savings.

Goddamn for-profit medical industry.

I'm actually really lucky. I had one of the best health insurance plans at the time I was visiting the hospital. So I could be in deep shit if I had not been so lucky. Without insurance I would have never survived.
