Ліст на ракавай рассылцы гэта нават не прапалітыку... L and I have now officially joined the world of the unemployed, uninsured and possibly soon to be Homeless. We are restricted to Internet access at the Library so can't spend much time on here. Yesterday was our last day of Cobra Eligibility and we could not find anyone else to borrow from so had to let it go. I think the thing that bothers me most about this is it means an end to L's Cancer screenings and lab work for her Liver and potassium problems along with all scans. We qualified for Food Stamps which will help and have applied for Social Security Disability for both of us but expect our cases to be very borderline. The state of *** is reveiwing my claim for Workmans Comp and Unemployment still, but even if they rule in my favor it will be too late for Cobra. I have decided my only option left is to ignore my back injury and take any work possible in an effort to get insurance back. We were able to refill all of L's medications which will give us a month on that, but she will probably have to quit using them when the current supply runs out. I have always been a Conservative Politically, but this experience has given me a completely different outlook on the problems of the poor and those with severe Health conditions and I am now a Full supporter of Health care reform. No one should ignore how fast situations can change in this economic situation. (20 comments | Leave a comment)
