Johanna Beeman, Denver

Johanna's insurance coverage ended after she lost her job and her COBRA coverage ran out. After she was diagnosed with depression, she found it impossible to obtain health insurance because depression is considered a pre-existing condition. Johanna recently joined the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan and now has health insurance.
