For family, receiving emergency oil spill help a matter of life and death, WWL-TV, September 23, 2010 at 10:30 p.m. EDT: Lafourche Seafood... shut down in May, and the owners are helplessly watching their income disappear. "I'm fixing to lose my house, I'm fixing to lose my cars. I'm fixing to lose everything," said a tearful Kathleen Fabacher. Her husband Kenny Fabacher can't get another job: he went blind seven years ago... "Am I going to get the money to pay my bills, and to keep my husband alive, or is he going to die before I get the money?" Kathy said. "I'm scared to death." ... I immediately sent the Fabachers' e-mail to Ken Feinberg's staff... "He said the only thing I can tell you right now is that you're under review," Kenny said. ... "Bills aren't paid, they take my car, they take my insurance, they take my house, and then I can't get him back and forth to dialysis," Kathy said, adding that if her husband doesn't receive treatment, he'll die.

Over at freeperville they are saying that the family made a choice and they are going to have to live with it.

3. Why is healthcare not homeland security?

Why are people losing their livelihoods, homes, and safety not homeland security??? This is where my tax dollars should be going. :mad:

These corporations are running this country down, family by family.
