Ted Hughes walked into a clinic ten months ago and was immediately taken to the hospital, where he spent the next seven days going in and out of a diabetic coma. When he walked out he had a $15,000 bill. His medicine costs $475 a month and he's paying for all of it out of his pocket. "It got to the point where I couldn't pay it anymore," Hughes said.

Hughes is not alone. He and others told their stories to the Health First Authority. Full story here.
