I'm signing this petition, because the past 6 years I have been with out insurance. I cannot afford the high costs of insurance and I make "too much" money to qualify for the Oregon health plan. I only have about 100-200 after paying all my bills every month and that goes to food and other necessities for the month. Health care for myself would run from 150-200. So this becomes a matter of do I want to eat or have health insurance. I obviously choose to eat.
