I've reached out to ProPublica and the NYT [View all]

I know many here despise the NYT. If they pick up my story I'll make sure I have control over the final print.

Really, all I'm concerned about is exposure of my lack of healthcare without the ACA subsidies. I'm trying to find someone willing to chronicle my death once I can't afford my healthcare to stay alive anymore. I assume this should be an easy sell.

Does anyone else have other media outlets I might reach out to?

On edit: I'm a cancer patient who's under ridiculously expensive post chemo treatment for ovarian cancer. Not the sort of stuff you can afford on your own even if you sold your home and decided to live under a bridge.
