Everyone back up and take a deep breath. It's the holidays. Some have made better choices in life than others. And some just plain had better opportunities than others.
Cow, I'm not sure what your situation is at this point, but I can tell you that I personally am in a precarious situation right now. I have an illness that I didn't expect....or rather.....I can say that I expected it due to family history, but I didn't expect it to come on overnight.
It's going to basically eat me up on the inside; and I'm in a job that is quite physically demanding. While I'm not in Sunshine's position, with treatment costs...mine are going to be....about $30,000/yr.
The key is to plan, plan, PLAN. Because crap happens when you least expect it. Peace, and happy holidays to you.
Yes, and I'm all about expanding health care coverage, making it more accessible to everybody, so that complete lives don't have to be ruined, whole families don't have to go bankrupt, because of a singular serious illness.
I'm not one to stand by as my fellow Americans suffer and die. I wouldn't do it in wartime, I'm not going to do it in peacetime. I will fight always for more universal health care coverage, creating that direct link between doctor and patient, so that the money does not all get accumulated by the insurance agency, but instead gets spent where it is most desperately needed.
