Yet another issue that needs fixing in our healthcare system. [View all]

[groundloop]

I just discovered another weakness in our healthcare laws (and at a particularly bad time with the Covid-19 outbreak).

I was recently laid off from my job as an engineer at a manufacturing plant that will soon be closing because its' jobs are being sent to Mexico. Naturally I lost my health insurance, but thankfully I can be put on my wife's policy. HOWEVER, what I found out was that I have to go uninsured for almost a month because I can only start on her policy on the first day of the month.

We MUST keep pushing our Democratic leaders to fix healthcare. Ideally we should have national health insurance similar to what most other civilized countries have, but at a minimum we MUST make serious improvements to the Affordable Care Act.
