We’ve had our share of medical expenses lately and what ticks me is that if we were illegals, we wouldn’t be paying any of it. She should have those expenses waived for trying to save the guys life.
I can relate to that. My husband had open heart surgery two years ago and is on about a million meds, and I'm being treated for lung cancer for the second time. Like good responsible citizens, we made sure we had health insurance. But there's a lot that health insurance doesn't cover.
As an example, I would love to have a portable oxygen concentrator, but my policy has a $1000 annual lease limit on DME and I can't afford to pay to purchase one outright ($4000-$6000). But if I was on Medicaid, I could get the latest fanciest portable concentrator available and it wouldn't cost me a dime. I'm beginning to think it doesn't pay to be responsible.
