Hello guys, Im from Minnesota, I just turned 20 last April and my health insurance has been cancelled, I got a physical to check things out before then and my alt and ast liver enzyms were up so I got a ultrasound of my liver, nothing found.. got another blood test a couple days later and they were normal, then I turned 20 and my insurance cancelled..
But recently, I have been having this pain in my upper middle back down through my right side, it hurts when I stretch out and it hurts when I take deep breaths, the pain on a scale of 1-10 is about an 8 when I take deep breaths and about a 7 when I stretch the wrong way. I have some trouble swallowing too.. I am concern because if something happens to me my life is not insured.

i feel very fortunate to live n canada and never have to worry about these things cost wise. Is they any way you can get new coverage?
from my understanding of american medicare shouldnt it be cheaper if you are young and just had a docs visit that turned up nothing?

Healthcare coverage itself is quite pricy, so even if you're young and healthy, you'd have to spend a fair amount of money for your health.
