All the doctor visits, the emergency room visits, the medication. All of these things would probably have me in debt for life, or bankrupt if I was American.

It's a broken system that is for sure. I cant believe with how advance this country is and we cant find a way to make sure everyone is taken care of.
Like I said before in my OP I make roughly $15,000 working at the hotel. With that salary I make too much (plus being a student doesn't help) to get government assistance on health care. Also with my house payment, car, auto insurance, and well basic living expenses I can't afford to pay $130/mo for insurance. It sucks but it's something that I will just have to live with fora few more year.
