13. Yeah, I understand this doesn't effect all people, but it's VERY important to me.

My letters to Congress all note that I care for my disabled mother, and therefore do not have a job or health insurance. I also happen to have a preexisting condition that I ignored for two years due to financial issues. I obviously get denied by the insurance companies because of this condition. They point me to the major liability insurance, which is $500/mo., but that's impossible with because I live on my mom's salary. I applied for government aid, but they said I'm not actually sick enough. So, yeah, I get that single payer isn't that important for some people, but their involvement could benefit their fellow citizens.
