Tonight, I'm scared. Exactly one year ago, I was pregnant... and diagnosed with cancer. I had surgery to remove my thyroid. I had a c-section to deliver my son two months early, so that I could continue with my radiation treatment. I'm scared tonight because in a few months, if this healthcare law remains unchanged, I may have to choose between paying rent and caring for my children and paying for insurance. My cancer treatment was covered under SoonerCare because I was pregnant at the time of diagnosis. Now I pay out of pocket for my medication, which I will be forced to take for the rest of my life. We are a family of five, struggling on one income. With three children, we can not afford child care for both my husband and I to work full time. My husband drives from Warner to Sapulpa every day to work. He's been looking for a new job for over a year, but just can't find anything else closer that would pay enough to support us all. Now the government wants to tax us for not having health insurance!?! With my previous cancer diagnosis, insurance for myself alone is more than we pay in rent every month. So do I pay the insurance and let the state have my kids because we'll be homeless, or pray that we can cover all the bills and budget for my pills and scrimp by like we have for the last year? Either way isn't ideal, but I'll always choose my kids over my own health. Jessica Whitehouse.
