I'm writing as one of millions of Americans that rely on my subsidized healthcare that I get through the marketplace. Although no one truly wants a gover nment shutdown, I see the necessity and agree that this issue needs to be addressed now and not later. I am the sole support in my household of 5. It's very important that I stay healthy in order to handle my responsibilities. I don't have much in the way of chronic health issues, but I rely heavily on maintaining my wellness through annual exams and testing. If I lose my coverage because I can no longer afford it, I worry that I'll be buried in debt because of an illness or accident. Please continue to fight the good fight and do what's right for the citizens of this country.
