Idiots killed the bill based on the thought that somebody making $15,000 should be able to make $700 a month insurance payments. That would leave us with $552 a year to live on. I was very upset last night. I had hopes of returning to work. It is just not possible.
I can't afford the 20% Medicare does not cover. I wouldn't be able to afford $52, 580 which is 20% of the cost of the kidney transplant that Jerramie needs. The transplant center would want that in advance. If I went back to work without Medicaid expansion everything I made and more would go to my husband's medical. There would be nothing left to go to basic living needs for a family of three. And of course I wouldn't qualify for any extra help with any of this due to my working income. So somebody else tell me to get a job, yeah that'll help.
