If we – who are insured – can find ourselves in this pickle…
January 10, 2008
A top knitting designer and her husband had insurance, but even so when the husband got sick it threatened their finances — the mortgage became an “extra”. With typical Minnesotan understatement, she calls their situation “a pickle.”
If we – who are insured – can find ourselves in this pickle, then what about the 40 plus million who have NO health insurance (most of whom don’t qualify for state funded welfare based medical assistance?) We can do better than this – we are a nation of problem solvers!
The designer had the popularity to run a special fundraiser to help make up the difference. Read about it here. But she realized that other people might not have such resources. What happens to those other people?
