I'm very sorry for all of your situations. You are all in my prayers. As I stated in another thread, I have a swollen blood vessel in my brain which causes seizures and migraines. Even though I automatically qualify for permanent, Social Security Disability (SSDI not SSI, because I've worked for close to 30 years) I HAVE to work. WHY? Because my husband has cancer and we couldn't afford all of the uncovered expenses that Medi-Cal and Medicare don't cover that we both need. We need good insurance and we need to be able to pay for the good insurance premiums, copays, deductibles, out of network costs, etc. It sucks, but I will say I'm less depressed when I"m working. When he was diagnosed with cancer, I realized I didn't have a choice, and now I'm happier working than sitting at home. I've been FIRED because of my disability (yes, they were within their rights because it was an "essential function" that I was unable to perform and they packaged me out). I have never in my life performed less than well, but I had to go out and try again because we need the insurance.
So to make a short story long again...do I have insurance? I live for it.
