Constant Struggle
It has not been easy to become covered and stay covered under a medical plan the past few years. I am 26 and have had at least 2 jobs for the past 7 years-goodness knows one cannot afford to live on even that at times-and have stayed at each for 2-6 years. Naturally, I had wanted full time status to qualify for benefits, and had even agreed to pay nearly $300 a month for a plan that covered next to nothing, but yet I figured it were better than nothing at all. I recently had been hired for full time at one of my current jobs, but naturally the medical came and went within 2 months, as I was told the company could only have as handful of full-time employees. I don't really have many medical issues, just would like the basics for the few office visits and scripts I have. Even $100 a month sets me back-and so many have it worse. Somethings gotta give for us all. Any help is appreciated!
