Sarah Wildman, who wrote in Double X about how her maternity health insurance coverage ended up nearly costing her 20 grand, went on NPR's Tell Me More yesterday to talk about her shoddy health care. Now we're soliciting your tales of health insurance woe.

Were the claims you thought were covered negated by the fine print? Did you recently lose your employer-based health insurance? Are you one of the millions of people who was forced into debt because of incomplete coverage? Either post about it in the comments or e-mail us .
