This is Kylie Jean ❤️ Kylie was born with a pretty common heart defect. We were assured that most children grow out of it by the time they are 2 and those ones that don’t, usually always grow out of it by the time they are 4. Unfortunately, the valves pumping blood to Kylie’s heart have not grown in they ways we have hoped and now almost 5 and a half, we start our journey to find the best solution for Kylie and will see just what her diagnosis is for the future.
We are able to double insure Kylie due to the protections pre-existing conditions have under the ACA. Without insurance, a heart surgery will bankrupt not only my husband and I but her father and step-mother as well. There is no reason why 4 hard working people should be forced to loose their homes in order to save their child. We would gladly give our home to save her life, but it’s pretty awful when you have to choose to be homeless to save your child in this country.
Mamas 4 Health Care (@mamas4healthcare) is a Tumblr advocating for fair and affordable health care that neither penalizes nor excludes anyone who has a pre-existing condition.
They’re currently accepting submissions from Tumblr users who have children or family members with health care needs that would be threatened if the AHCA becomes the law. If you’d like to share your story, you can submit it right here.
Health care is a human right, and everyone is more than a pre-existing condition.
