Stories of the uninsured: Toya

Toya is a typical 10-year old kid whose favorite pastime is jumping rope with her friends. A few years ago, Toya was diagnosed with cancer and requires continuous check-ups and care. Toya's parents both work full-time but still do not make enough to afford medical insurance or pay her mounting medical bills. The financial strain they are under is devastating. And without health insurance Toya can't receive the care her survival depends on.
