We are the 99 percent

Posted by Clara
I’m a full time grad student and a full time worker. I have chronic, excruciating migraines. I live in fear of the next attack. I can barely cover rent, gas and groceries.  I can’t afford a doctor’s visit, let alone health insurance. My boss refuses to purchase an employee plan because he doesn’t want us to abuse the “privilege” of health care, but tells me that I’m being foolish by not getting insurance on my own. The health care I need to fight my migraines wouldn’t cost $100 per month, but I can’t afford it without giving up food or shelter. I don’t want to be rich. I don’t want a big house or a prestigious job. I just don’t want to be afraid anymore. I just want to go through a week without debilitating pain. One week. I am the 99%.

OCCUPY EVERYTHING.
