On Christmas eve 1997, I was involved in a car wreck that resulted in severe head trauma/coma, cardiac arrest, and several broken bones.

I broke my left arm, left leg, right collar bone, 10 ribs, collapsed both of my lungs, ruptured spleen, left kidney failure, a bleed in my left frontal lobe and hypothalamus, I fractured 6 vertebrae in my back.

The road to recovery has not been easy but I have not stopped climbing. I was left with a few health problems, one being a major expense: epilepsy. It was covered under my insurance through my broker/dealer but then I had a lapse in coverage. This left me with no choice but to seek individual health insurance. After being denied by several carriers, I was approved by one with an exclusion to anything relating to epilepsy.
I have to pay for me medicine in full, doctor, and emergency visits with no help from the government or drug companies. I cannot live like this.
