A doctor tells legislators: Yes, the lack of insurance does cause deaths. The lawmakers got an early briefing on declining access to health care, which could worsen with further state budget cuts.<\/p>\n
Amy Moreno-Sills loves sustainable farming. It's a passion. A core of her beliefs. The life work of her and her husband, Augustin. <\/p>\n
And she faces possibly giving it up to get health insurance. <\/p>\n
Augustin 29, and Amy, 37, are both managers for produce farms in Pierce County earning about $60,000 annually as a couple, an income that just dropped significantly with the recent brth of their second child, Hector. With a 4-year-old daughter Gabriela, Amy had to switch to a part-time administrative job at Terry's Berry Farm cutting more than $15,000 from the couple's annual income.. <\/p>\n
So far, the family has lived on the edge of having adequate health insurance. In fact, maybe beyond the edge. <\/p>\n
Neither parent has health insurance. Particularly withday-care costs taking up a lot of their income, they can't afford it. \"It's super-pricey. What are we gonna have to give up to have health insurance?\" Amy said recently. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
