They refused to allow me to have no health insurance and I told them, "well, that's how it is", so now they pay for my insurance. I'm lucky. There are millions of people who don't have loving parents like I do and I'm grateful for that. It still bothers me to no end how our health care system is so terrible but I always feel like my voice is not the right one to hear when I'm covered by two people who love me.
