“I was more worried about how I was going to pay for a hospital visit than the fact that my body was crying out for help.”
to share how putting off necessary medical care because of money has affected them. Here are their stories:"I'm putting off care right now. My family has a history of Crohn’s disease that ranges from mild to cancer to painful death. I’ve been dealing with progressively worse symptoms for years and I can’t afford to go back to the ER again after being taken for passing out from pain and 'mystery stomach pain.
But I was told my health benefits were not 'cost effective' for the clinic and was promised a raise instead — which I never saw. I struggled more and more socially and withdrew because it was so hard to carry on conversations, especially in loud areas like the bus and the cafeteria. "I desperately need to see a dermatologist and allergist to find an alternate solution, but I can’t even afford the initial consultation. All I can afford is one dose of steroids a year, and I know they’re ultimately making me worse. But I’m not in a position to be able to afford one, let alone multiple, visits to different specialists as they try different means to treat my symptoms.
I'm terrified we will be bankrupted by what would once have been considered uneventful, standard expenses when I was young"I couldn’t afford going to the dentist as a child and through college so when I was finally able to go and get things taken care of, several of my teeth were too destroyed to save. I’ve had to have five teeth pulled and a root canal because of it, which really added up in bills.
I was more worried about how I was going to pay for a hospital visit than the fact that my body was crying out for help.""I fractured my wrist boxing. I felt a distinct crack when I threw a bad punch, but figured it was just a strain. It took three months and a trainer telling me to get it checked out before I finally went in, because I had to save up money first. After paying $400 for the appointment fee and X-ray, I found out it had fractured, healed, then re-fractured.
