NOT SURE WHAT TO WRITE?

​

It's not always easy to write down personal accounts of deeply personal experiences. Here are some questions to help guide you.

• How long were you uninsured?

• Did you delay medical care, rely on charity care/clinics or the ER?

• Do you or they have unpaid medical bills as a result? Did you/they have to make other lifestyle changes to help cover the cost of medical care?

• What type of coverage did you receive? (Medicaid/CHIP/ACA)

• Did you or a family member have a chronic health condition or health needs? How are you or someone else impacted? (Does this require routine doctor’s visits, expensive medications, etc.)

• What do you feel are the benefits of receiving health coverage?
