This Jan, I was honored to meet Charley, 4, & her mom, Stefani-- San Diegans who know, first-hand, about ACA's life-saving care. #ACAStoriespic.twitter.com/2nVuWbAHrJ
At only 3yrs old, Charley was diagnosed with leukemia. "Your daughter has cancer," are words no parent is prepared to hear.
After the initial shock, Stefani's concern turned to how they were going to afford Charley's treatment.
In 6 months, Charley's medical expenses reached a 1/4 MILLION DOLLARS.pic.twitter.com/gnDqRj00mA
That's equivalent to 3,000 tickets to Disneyland, 2,000 lift tickets to a local mountain, 233 plane tickets to visit family in Ireland.pic.twitter.com/Wfqj0Lo746
Stefani and her husband purchased healthcare through @CoveredCA.pic.twitter.com/t9ESenby02
It allowed Charley to get the specialty care she needed that could only be provided by San Diego's @radychildrens hospital. #ACAStoriespic.twitter.com/6lq3kDyA3M
Despite this coverage, Stefani and her husband still spend almost $7,000 for Charley's treatment and will need to for the next 3yrs.
Despite receiving this life-saving care, Charley is still at risk for major medical complications and developing secondary cancers.
But for Charley and her parents, the ACA isn't about the numbers--and it's certainly not about politics. #ACAStories
It's about life-saving care and the difference between being denied for a pre-existing condition at just 4 years old. #ACAStories
