Ann Arbor, MI
As a student at the University of Michigan, I have been blessed with two reliable, free-to-me forms of health care-University Health Systems and my parent's employer coverage. I have access to preventative care, emergency assistance, dental, and visual. In exactly one year from now, I will go from two sources of care, to zero in the blink of an eye. With the economy the way it is, and my desire to work in the public sector (not the most well-paying sector), even a Masters degree of one of the top public schools in the country will secure me a job with decent benefits. Therefore, I challenge the Health Care for American Now! coalition to ease my worried mind, and prove to me that my country cares about investing in me-the future of America.
