That said, by the time taxes come out, rent, car payments, car insurance, groceries, utilities, daily/weekly/monthly/seasonal expenses that come with having children, out of pocket costs of dental, vision, and medical...Well you get the drill. There is barely enough left over to do any of the fun things in life. Jessie had no pre-natal care (same wall each time she tried to find help; they make too much) and I am just so thankful that Oakley came out fine and healthy. She now owes $20,000 out of pocket for hospital alone, another $5,000 for the doc, and I am not even sure of the anesthesiologist costs. Not to mention she had two false starts that cost a visit to the hospital as well. Those costs add up and have overwhelmed her. And no, his company doesn't provide any healthcare benefits whatsoever. He is just glad to have a job. The costs are the said lack of benefits and only getting to be with his family on the weekend. No free educational opportunities for them, born and bred in the U S of A...Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920411020784409759.post-4985770153783154952012-07-16T17:58:32.187-07:002012-07-16T17:58:32.187-07:00Sherry, I am not positive where government assista...Sherry, I am not positive where government assistance would kick it but I think a family of four with under $40,ooo per year would cost nothing.

Health insurance policies are not cheap by a long shot and not many families can afford to pay for them out of pocket. For instance, my daughter. Her husband makes too much to qualify for state help but not enough to afford the policy. A rock and a hard place? Yes indeed.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920411020784409759.post-11477328165430931352012-07-15T09:59:04.467-07:002012-07-15T09:59:04.467-07:00Thanks, Kay.

I consider myself a fiscal conservative and a social liberal, quite a mix! and I am a bit like Lil' Abner: "good is better because it is gooder!"Jerry Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024087888949143035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920411020784409759.post-5000570743676437142012-07-15T08:10:04.315-07:002012-07-15T08:10:04.315-07:00amen, Jerry.

I know the republicans decided the day Obama was sworn in to obstruct every bill he introduced or supported..even if it was something they had supported before. This whole thing seems like school yard tactics and bullying. The lack of respect towards our President and his wife is also disgusting. I wish everyone would remember what they learned in kindergarten. This outward hatred of women and poor should make them blush in shame.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819844673551315071noreply@blogger.com
