Needing Health Insurance and Having a Mild Disability

[John "Hai" Knapp]

I will upload an essay, Needing Health Insurance and Having a Mild Disability. I think I have come with some good reasons why we need to make healthcare universally affordable. I am for single-payer HR-676; but somehow we need to make it something everybody can afford.

If you can't find a job, in fact, if you can't find a mighty good job, how can you have insurance? If the unfriendly economic climate won't let you compete for a good job how will you have insurance?

If a mild disability, such as Aspergers keeps you from competing in job market market; then our privatized healthcare is clearly unfair to such individuals. It is unfair, period.

I have uploaded an essay I wrote, much on my own experiences with Aspergers Syndrome, "Needing Health Insurance and Having a Mild Disability."

well John you are not alone. I am worse off with multiple disablities. yet I can't get through the SSA. My medicaid insurance has been discontinued.

I really donn't know how I can keep going. the only thing left is for all of us who are disabled come together and fight/push for the SSA to change from hard head rules against the disabled. yet when I try to get other disabled people interested in doing this, everything becomes like an empty room.
