Workers are telling their stories of being caught up in a maddening, expensive and inadequate health care system on Working America’s Health Care Hustle web site. Amy Robinson has battled for decades first to get a kidney transplant and then to keep it.

[Amy Robinson]: “Even though I had three insurances – I did have the transplant through those – and when I got done I basically got a bill for thousands and thousands of dollars stating that I had to pay immediately and there was no payment plan. At this point, I am struggling every day to do what it takes to keep my transplant, to be healthy. My main medication for transplanted patients is running about a thousand dollars a month.”
