See Darlene Wilcher Story (wmv file) Help with Media Player Darlene Wilcher is a 58-year-old woman who lost her job as a radiological technologist and her health insurance in 2004. She currently does freelance work to try and make ends meet but cannot afford the high cost of health insurance. The lack of insurance terrifies her because she has a medical condition that could lead to seizures at anytime.
"I worked all my life in healthcare and now I feel like I have to go out to beg for health insurance. There are so many other people out there in my situation and I hope legislators can do something about it soon. It is becoming a crisis," she said.
