Health Care Can’t Wait Stories

Voices from North Carolina’s Coverage Gap

Anetra

Anetra is an early childhood educator in Robeson County.
“Not having health insurance is detrimental to my health, and then I’m leaving a burden on my family members to take care of me later in life.”

Randy and Steve

Randy and Steve are both fathers of young people who passed away after an opioid overdose. Both are passionate voices for bringing affordable health care to North Carolina, to fight the opioid epidemic head-on.

Eryka

Eryka is an early childhood educator in Wake Forest. “My situation is actually a lot more common than people think it is. I’m a one-income household, and that’s unfortunately really common right now. Unless you’ve had a lot of college and gotten lucky and got that great job, it’s really unaffordable to pay for solid health insurance.”
