Relief

When I lost my job, I lost insurance for all 4 of us. At that point I was just worried about insuring the boys. Wyatt has inhalers and script allergy meds he needs. The inhalers are over $100 a month and his allergy meds are a good $60 a month. Wyatt was getting denied from private insurances left and right because of his asthma, all of them stating that it would cost too much to treat his asthma. Well thank sweet baby jesus, we qualified for Healthy Kids. Which is a state funded medical program. Now I can get his medicines and take Caleb in for his well baby check ups without having a gigantic dr bill.

If you have ever lost insurance, you know how fucking expensive private insurance is, and how picky they are. This whole pre existing conditions stuff that Obama is putting into place doesn't become effective until 2014. So, that helps absolutely no one right now. Not for the next 3.5 years.
