We all need to hope that a democrat becomes the next president.

Living with Crohn's disease means may things and has it's many challenges. One of the largest is that getting health care is difficult. Having to pre-disclosed your disease means if you are looking for independent insurance you are likely out of luck. Luckily I am a teacher and get coverage regardless. I am so happy for this and thank my lucky stars each day. However, I am also a prisoner of my disease in the fact that I can not stray from my job as a teacher. There are hopes and dreams I hold inside for the future that might not include teaching. That dream becomes a bit brighter if what we are hearing from the current democratic candidates platforms for health care is truth. Regardless if it is an all encompassing health care program by Hillary or a affordable program that anyone can obtain but is not required by Obama. The fact that rings out to me is that insurance companies can not DENIE me insurance because I was unfortunate enough to have Crohn's disease.
