American Health Care System Truly Works

I have had ankle problems before, but this one isn't good. Today, on my way to work, in the morning, i was walking down an uneven pavement and i rolled my ankle. I was very bad. I have been joking about my ankle in the past saying that i have nothing left in my right ankle to tear, guess i was wrong. I felt that something tear apart and i think i heard it. So here i am sweating and trying not to think negative or pass out, thats what generally happens from pain in our family,trying hard to type. I can feel the ankle swollen and tightened.

Yes, of course, i am very much stressed about how am i gonna pay for this??

I have an Health Insurance that doesn't start until May 1st, which means for now i'm on a catastrophic plan i.e,$220 a month for a several thousand dollar deductible. I dont have that much of money at this moment. The only choice i have is to delay this treatment for a few more weeks, however i am not even sure if my health insurance will cover this treatment under it.( I do know that "Obamacare" is supposed to address this issue, but i have no idea as to where it stands.)

I am aware of the fact that this is just an ankle, not cancer or anything else and until i don't get is x-ray test done i have no idea if it is really that bad. Also, it was my decision to buy the stupid insurance that i currently have. When buying an insurance most of the options dont satisfy all our needs. My situation is not that bad considering what thousands of other Americans are facing today with this typical health care system that's totally ruined everything.

Now, I wish that i would have been in better shape if i would have stepped a couple of inches to the left or if this incident happened just a few weeks later. I am in a complete mess and stress (actually totally screwed).
