Riley's mom, Melissa, also sent a letter to our office, a letter of desperation stating that her health insurance provider, the one she has always relied on, has now informed her that she will no longer be covered after November 25. In her letter to our office, Melissa writes: When my daughter or I purchase our own health care in an attempt to be self-sufficient in this country, we are penalized, not rewarded.
