(212 posts)Yes, I'm glad that some families will be able to benefit but I'm very discouraged that my family, as usual, will not be one of them. We have shitty insurance through my husband's employer that cost as much as our mortgage. We have a $2500 deductible and 30% co-pay after that. My son's meds are not covered and would cost over $200 a month if I hadn't had to stop giving them to him months ago. The primary care providers on our plan cost us $280 for any office visit until we have met that deductible. After that they cost us 30% of $280.
I stepped on a nail weekend before last and it went all the way through my foot. I've been limping around for over a week now. I should have gotten a tetanus shot but if I had we wouldn't have been able to eat in October. We pay and pay and pay for insurance that we don't dare use. I'm going to have to file bankruptcy on last years medical bills but I can't even afford to do that.
My daughter has not had lunch one time this school year. We can't afford it. My son has at least had the famous cheese sandwich. But once again we don't qualify for the help it seems everyone but us will be getting because we have crappy insurance through my husband's employer. I wish I could afford a divorce. Then maybe me and the kids could get insurance for $2 a month.
