A longtime resident of Rapid City, South Dakota, Scott was working full-time at a local store when he hurt his back loading goods into a customer’s car. His doctor limited his work hours while he recovered, but after a few months of part-time work, he lost access to his insurance benefits. Scott’s injury limits his ability to work, help his fiancée around the house, and even take a road trip to visit his family. In addition, without insurance, he is unable to treat a chronic health condition.
