one step forward - knocked on our ass two steps back

we really really REALLY need universal health care in the US.

The other day when I went to the emergency room and got a prescription I found out my health insurance was canceled. So my wife calls and discovers they said they 'sent an email' requesting income information.

To make a long story short her raise bumped us up just over 'poverty' level so now we have to pay for insurance - it will be about as much her raise.

The even shittier part is that we now also will have massive co-pays for doctor visits and prescriptions. Seeing that we can't even keep up with the fucking bills and bank fees as it is.

The company also has a bonus (incentive they call it) program - so we have to call her boss and opt of the bonus's so we go backwards to poverty zone so that we can keep our medical insurance.

Isn't that a motherf***er. You think you're finally getting somewhere and then you get kicked in the face - again.

It shouldn't be any surprise really, we've been on and off welfare for going on 30 years now and this happens every time we get to the point where we are going to pull out of it and then something fucking changes and we end getting benefits cut - or losing them altogether.

Maybe someday we experience freedom. This 'thing' we live in now isn't free at all.

Working 40 hours a week and still can't keep up - always behind on something - and forget about empathy and compassion. We are suckers for helping our kids who as young adults are struggling the same we are.

The easiest way to help the broke carpenter is an upvote and maybe a resteem.
