For the past eleven years, Gary has had Type I diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes). Up until recently, he has never had insurance. But thankfully, “the doctors have taken care of me,” he said. He did tell me about a knee operation that cost him about $10,000. “But now,” he said, “his wife has a job, which comes with insurance, and so I’m covered.”
