In a recent interview on "The Drew Barrymore Show," the actress Hillary Swank talked about the problems she faced at the beginning of her career.

After winning an Oscar for her role in the movie "Boys Don't Cry" in 2000, Hilary had to go to the doctor because of health problems. In the aforementioned interview, she explained that she didn't make enough money to get health insurance, so she paid $260 for simple antibiotics.

"I had a common cold and when I went to the doctor for regular antibiotics, they just said, 'Yeah, it's $260,'" the actress said.

"Then I answered them: Wait, I have insurance, you can check," explained the actress and added that she immediately had to call the insurance company. I remember the insurance company telling me I had to make a minimum of $5.000 a year to qualify for insurance. "Imagine, that year I won an Oscar, and I had no money for health insurance," said the actress.

The two-time Oscar winner recently revealed that she is expecting a new baby at the age of 48. The famous actress shared the happy news during a guest appearance on the "Good Morning America" ​​show.
