My name is Jaime Fountaine and I'm 27 years old. My friends, who have worked
service jobs and I all have this theory that you should have to work a service
job for at least two years so that you know how to act in public.
I've been working at the coffee shop for the past four-and-a-half years. I've
never made more than 20-grand in a year.
I... I don't really have a plan. That's not a great thing to have to admit to
anybody but that's just not how my life worked out since I graduated college.
Every time I get sick, I get you know... If it can't be fixed with Advil, NyQuil
and a good night's sleep I don't really have a solution for it.
I don't... I don't know what I would do if I got very ill or very injured.
Honestly I haven't been to a doctor since my 11th grade physical.
Between the... all of the obligations I already have like utilities and rent and
student loan payments, within my budget, there's no way I can afford healthcare.
If something bad happened to me... if I were in an accident or if I developed
some sort of serious illness, there's no possible way I could afford it. I don't
have that kind of savings. My savings would be gone in an instant. I have no
plan. I can't afford a plan.
Life with health insurance would offer comfort and stability and safety.
