Stories from the State
Advocates from across the country submit their patient stories about 24/7 care, large corporate insurers, and rural healthcare access in order to highlight the importance of access to care.
A couple years ago, I was septic and almost died — I ended up in the hospital for several weeks. I survived, but lost my foot. I am disabled and can’t work. I depend on Medicare.

I had emergency surgery for a bowel rupture. Was in a coma for six weeks. Had to learn to walk and talk again which I did with the help of a great hospital staff. Owe them my life.
