I am not insurable because I am bipolar and require medications each month that will prevent me from doing harm to myself and others. So we had to sign me up for COBRA, at $357 a month. My new medication is $300 without insurance, and that\'s monthly. My once monthly visits to the psychiatrist would probably be $200 a visit, and $125 with sessions with my therapist. Apparently because I have a disease in which I have no control over that I was genetically pre-dispositioned I am no longer human and deserving of a stable livelihood.
