I don't know if people truly understand the depths of my despair.
My insurance company said I reached their yearly cap in June. I am now responsible for 100% of all my cancer treatments, prescriptions, dr/hospital visits out of pocket myself until January 2019 when cap resets.

I have no way to pay for any of it.
Why is that important? Because my cancer will continue spreading to more and more organs while I wait for January to roll around.
I need to stop it from spreading NOW.

The longer I delay my cancer treatments - the farther it spreads.
The farther it spreads the higher my chances are of dying.
All of this is going on because we don't have #MedicareForAll.

How TF would you feel if you had stage 3 endometrial cancer and you couldn't get cancer treatments for it?!?!
How would you feel if you knew you could have a shot at beating it by getting treatments early enough but can't because you don't have the money to pay for it?!?!

Imagine knowing you have a chance to live - but being denied that chance?!?!
Simply because you don't have the money - knowing that this wouldn't be an issue if you lived in another country.

When I die- I hope y'all @BenJealous @RealTimBlack @ninaturner @WalkerBragman @RepBarbaraLee @nikoCSFB @JovankaBeckles @OakSmith2018 @BootsRiley - use my story to shame every politician into finally supporting #MedicareForAll
My death is and will have been preventable.
Period.
