I really would have to choose between a roof over my head or healthcare.

Big thing for EVERYONE to remember/know/realize: it's not healthcare - it's health INSURANCE. BIG difference! I can afford to have health INSURANCE but that does not mean I can afford to see a doctor. I had to see a doctor three times this year - and I have high deductible insurance. I am barely making ends meet without seeing a doctor and these visits have just added more on my plate.
