My home is in foreclosure, my job is ending soon, my paycheck is rapidly disapearing and winter is coming in Alaska.
And I am supposed to just happily bleed off everything I own to keep some overpriced doctors and shrinks paid off?
And to just not oppose it one fraction of a bit at all?
I don’t think so. Perhaps some time in the future I will post a followup comment about my new successful life in another country after I had to flee from an oppressive out of control state that is so hungry for revenue they are willing to spend more money to pay for people to come after me, take away my tools, my home and my job?
Just so they can spend it foolishly and frivolously elsewhere or to some Unionized groups?
This socialism in its early stages, and I won’t meekly submit.
I’m sorry for the circumstances of your life. I sincerely hope that somewhere along the line your luck changes and you are able to follow-up with a success story.
Many Americans go bankrupt every day paying for overpriced doctors and shrinks. It’s a crappy part of life. Consider this: I pay $350 a month for family healthcare that includes my wife and me. My company pays a share of my healthcare monthly - I don’t know the amount, but my wife who is an HR Director assures me it’s easily at least the same, but probably more than the amount I pay. Neither she nor I have a disease like your child does. Based on what you’ve told us I have to assume you don’t have a healthcare plan. While $200/week for healthcare for your child may seem outrageous given your circumstances, the amount doesn’t seem extraordinarily high given how much healthcare costs to the average American citizen. Who would you have pay for the necessary healthcare of your child?
Ordinarily I wouldn’t ask, but you opened the door: what was the rationale behind the state removing your child from your home? Alaska doesn’t WANT custody of your minor child, so, again, I have to make an assumption that there was at least one compelling event that caused them to take action.
Here’s the question I have to ask myself: is it fair for you to have to foot the bill for healthcare for your chid even though that child has been removed from your home by the state? Well, I guess my answer to that is yes. If said child had remained in your home, wouldn’t you still have to pay for his/her healthcare?
