Your story give life to the truth about how need for Healthcare (insurance coverage, actually) eliminates pursuits of dreams and options available to other Americans. When we were working on increasing the return to work of young adults on Social Security Disability Insurance we found the same phenomenon. Need follows resources and, among otherwise rational people, that need takes precedence over risk associated with the possibilities to rise above poverty and achieve greater social and economic equity. In studies of SSDI populations conducted 20-years apart, assured access to health care (medication, doctors, in-hospital treatment, transportation, extra-hospital therapies) remained the single most important deterrent to pursuing gainful employment. Our society is not designed for those at risk, their underachievement and poverty remain status conditions that weigh upon all of us as a result, IMHO.
