My fiancé and I both work for Wal-mart stores, Inc., in Temple, Pa… Needless to say, although they are the richest conglomerates in the world, we are unable to get affordable health insurance through them. My fiancé and myself both have existing medical conditions which are quite serious, and we both need health and life sustaining medications in order to be able to support ourselves out in the working world and in order to survive. My fiancé, Alan, has diabetes, and I have a bipolar disorder in which I need medication every day of my life, probably for the rest of my life. Sometimes, we both have to forego the purchasing and the ingestion of our medicines, due to the lack that we are struggling with money and bills. Like most Americans, I am too sure. Please help us. I do not drive a car. Only my fiancé, Alan does. He is my only transportation to and from work. I do not want him to, god forbid; lose a limb one day because he cannot afford his medicine.
