As a health care navigator, I understand well how health insurance works with working-class and low-income people. And I know how important health care can be in our lives.
My job is to educate and enroll people in the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. Every day, I try to enroll as many people as possible into health insurance because I know firsthand how hard your life can be when you are low-income and uninsured, especially when you have a children and family like me. Falling in the coverage gap is upsetting for anyone.
