We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

Since 2009, I have attempted suicide 3 times. After each attempt, I was hospitalized. When I was “stable,” my insurance company stopped paying and I was sent home with more meds and follow-up care. My erratic moods left me unable to commit to appointments. I was forced to care for my own mental health, despite not having a healthy mind. My insurance company abandoned me.

But I am one of the lucky ones. I was finally diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I am properly medicated. My moods are stable. I am in a good place.

Private insurance companies behave as though mental illness is fake. They go so far as to re-label it “behavioral health,” as if we are naughty children who need a time out.

I should never have had my insurance cut the minute I was stable. Stable is not healthy. To them, I am a dollar, not a HUMAN.
