Kathy Olmstead - Cedar Falls, Iowa

1062342-1497800-thumbnail.jpgKathy has a very bad back and bad knees that she desperately needs treatment for. Insurance through her former employer was too expensive because the employees were not offered a group discount. Her ailments keep her from her work as a CNA, and unless she can be healthy enough to work long hours as a CNA then she can’t afford health insurance to treat the ailments. This catch-22 shows what is wrong with our health care system. People who work hard and play by the rules are driven out of the system because of skyrocketing costs.
