Healthy Families Matter.
"We
went without health insurance for almost two years.
You don't realize how important it is until you don't
have it.
We were at the hospital for my son's
heart condition, his oxygen levels were low, and they
sent him home because we didn't have insurance.
Each trip to the cardiologist was $500.
When we got the flyer from the school about affordable
health care, we sent it back and were enrolled in two
weeks.
It is a secure feeling knowing that
we have health care. We are able to take him to his
cardiologist and it covers his heart medication. We
are very thankful, really."
