I'm a 24 year old guy and I've lived with my 25 year old boyfriend for 5 years. He has multiple sclerosis and, subsequently, had to quit school, his parents took his car away and cut him off for coming out. His medicine is 3,500/ month and has had to quit taking it when the insurance ran out. I work 60 hours a week to take care of us and share my car with him to get us both to work. I'm drowning in medical bills and credit card debt from years of supporting us without help and being downtrodden by our families because we're gay. No bank will give us a loan because of the medical bills, and we're about to lose our car and our apartment. Health care reform is taking too long, he's been on the waiting list for social security for 5 years, and we can't get other government assistance because we don't qualify. I work as much as I can, and so does he, but it just isn't cutting it. We have both been dealt a bad hand in life and are desperate...thinking about giving up.
