Pretty gut-wrenching.

I think all mothers should get a minimum of one year at home with their infant, if they so choose. [/quote]

This choice is currently available to mothers. What are you talking about?[/quote]

The choice is availabke. Most women want the paycheck and wont give it up.[/quote]

The mother said she only kept working for health insurance. We are still paying off a medical bill from when my husband was uninsured 5 years ago. I know that Obamacare is an option now, but I'm not sure how good the options are. I can fully understand her fear about being uninsured because you just never know when something bad will happen and you end up with a $20k bill from a hospital that ends up taking years to pay off. [/quote]

I thought I knew what others are going through.  But you can never fully appreciate the fear and helplessness unless you go through it yourself.

I never really understood until my spouse was fired, and I was on the list to get fired, and our health insurance was linked to my job.  I was very scared.  Health Insurance should not be linked to a job.   It is a f'cked up system.

I have not used Obamacare but it is a major step in the right direction.

Our culture has still not adjusted to 2 working parent families.  But it is consistent with every other aspect of american culture, every man woman and child for himself.  Time to import millions more immigrants to take our jobs.[/quote]
