First Person: Uninsured
With health insurance, I might have visited a doctor sooner and done without the eventual trip to the emergency room and overnight hospital stay. I might have visited a doctor directly after leaving sick from work, after the first sharp pains in my abdomen, and not waited until I lost so much blood that I lost consciousness.
