We've been dealing with this since last January when a car accident resulted in my wife's neck being broken (along with a broken arm, bisected major vessel in her neck and nerve damage). Thankfully, after three surgeries, and lots of PT, she has most of her movement back. But the worst part of it was fighting with the insurance company to cover the things they were supposed to cover. Phone call after phone call after phone call. Now, I am unemployed, so I am scrambling to find a job with benefits rather than hunting for a job that I might actually enjoy or be paid what I am worth.
You know what really ticks me off? Longtime Republicans, my In-Laws, are admitting that "something needs to be done", but gosh darn it if they aren't scared of that public option, because then their job might not offer a health plan and that's a benefit and money out of their pocket. Yeah, don't worry about your daughter not being able to afford insurance, just worry about that job that you hate and are planning to retire from in 2 years anyway. Selfish.
