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.
I am 71, as is my husband, and we struggle to get by on Medicare. It has been a few years since I had my acute stroke, and was hospitalized for two heart attacks. Medicare is our lifesaver.
Nancy S
I am a four-time cancer survivor. I had lung cancer five years ago — they removed part of my lung. If it wasn’t for Medicare, I would not be writing this. Medicare must be protected so I can watch my granddaughter and grandsons grow up. Thank you.
