Life with a sick child.
The husband makes $68,000/yr.
He works 90 hours/week to support his family.
He skips lunch to save money.
The wife is asked to beg for charity at churches.
They turn to doctor samples when insurance refuses antibiotic costs.
They end up filing for bankruptcy.
The man, obviously feels like a failure. I would too.
I am not too eloquent and I don't like to be too wordy but what should he have done? Put his child to sleep? Let him die? Is that our Culture of Life? Is this the Culture of Personal Responsibility that opponents of universal healthcare propose?
Keep in mind, the bankruptcy doesn't finish their problems. Their kid is still sick.
If you read the article, you'll see how the credit card companies increased their rate, how insurance company wouldn't pay for medication and they HAD insurance and the husband WAS working.
This is the "American Way"? This is the most powerful country in the world? Bullshit.
