Reply #217: amen! i am about to go on disability

[noiretextatique]

for a medical condition and i have to pay Cobra...to the tune of $500.00 per month. my condition has already put a financial burden on me (my insurance doesn't cover alternative care, and i need special food and supplements), and now i will take a pay cut AND pay my insurance premium. i am thankful to have insurance, but damn it will be hard to pay for it. it doesn't make sense to put a financial burden on people who are already dealing with the huge burden of having a health issue. at this point, my financial stresses are worse than the illness itself, and that certainly isn't helping me heal.
