57. This one really hit home today...

Edited on Thu Feb-02-06 05:48 PM by AbbyR

My husband has been diagnosed with PLS (first cousin to ALS) and we have no idea what we are going to do. I have to work and won't be able to stay home with him when he has to be there, and we can't afford in-home health care or a nursing home. We are too rich for Medicaid and he's not old enough for Medicare. When he stops working - and he'll have to soon, his insurance is gone and I can't put him on mine - preexisting condition.

USA medical care sucks.
