MY BROTHER IN LAW'S GIRLFRIEND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A FEW DAYS. SHE WORKS AS A TRAVELING NURSE AND MAKES ABOUT $30/HOUR(ONLY PAYS TAXES ON A SMALL % OF THAT BECAUSE SHE WORKS OUT OF STATE). WHICH I THINK IS NOT FAIR, BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS: SHE HAS A HOSPITAL BILL AND SHE SAYS SHE CAN'T "AFFORD" TO PAY IT. SO SHE WENT AND GOT HELP FROM MEDICAID. SHE IS NOT GOING TO TAKE A CONTRACT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND BE UNEMPLOYEED SO SHE CAN GET HER HOSPITAL BILL PAYED FOR HER. OMG THAT MAKES ME SOOOOOOOO MAD. BECAUSE MY SON HAS A LOT MORE BILLS THAN THAT AND I COULD NOT GET HELP FROM HIM UNLESS I SIGNED HIM UP ON SSD. AND MY HUBBY ONLY MAKES ABOUT $10/HOUR. HOW AND THE HELL DOES PEOPLE GET BY WITH STUFF LIKE THAT? OH IN CASE ANYONE IS WONDERING SHE OWNS HER HOME(PAID FOR). WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE DO WITH HER MONEY? SORRY SHE JUST MAKES ME SOOOOO ANGRY AND NOW SHE CAN GET BY WITH THIS SHIT JUST REALLY SINCHES IT. I HOPE YOU ALL DON'T THINK THIS IS JUST SOMEONE VENTING ABOUT AN ANNOYING LITTLE FLEA. IT IS REALLY NOT FAIR THAT ANYONE CAN GET BY WITH THIS.
