Alexis Lewis was a 22-year-old trying to do everything right. She was enrolled at a local community college in Knoxville, Tennessee, with dreams of being a nurse while working two jobs, earning just enough to get by. "I was taking care of myself at the time," she said. But, like thousands of Americans every year, Lewis' path was derailed by one trip to the emergency room. "I would have panic attacks and pretty much have to go to the emergency room," Lewis said.
