Why doesn't your wife look for a job that includes family medical? They aren't that hard to find.
Her job does have it, just for her though she would have to pay $150 a month, then it is a extra $100 per family member so it would be $450 a month if we all went on the plan when she brings home $100 a month, even if we just did her and the kids we couldnt afford it, and she must have it in order to put others on it. Once I can get on ssi she plans to keep working and then we will be using it, and her working will be paying for the kids insurance, but till that time, were still screwed if I cant get on SSI right away.
Ok... I can understand how that could not be affordable for you, but if she just covers herself and you, it would be 250/mo and it should cover most of the prescriptions' cost. You're kids still aren't covered but that detuction would still save you money, wouldn't it?
There are still plenty of union jobs that have wonderful benefits. My dad has the Cadillac package, it costs $97/mo and covers everyone in the family (luckily I'm still covered). While I believe it's a drain on the employer, the fact is those jobs are out there and can be had.
I wish it could be that simple. Even at that point, were still talking bills, feeding a family of 4, we already shop at save a lot and get only whats needed and we only spend 300 a month, and thats food stamps, so that will need to come out of her check, then $400 for bills gas, electricity, auto insurance, gas to get to work and where needed, and have something left over in case the kids may need something for school, and when it is all said and done, can afford to get my wife on it, and thats it,, MAYBE. And lets not forget, and I will have to look into it, my rate may be based on being healthy. I may be subject to existing conditions, and need to take a health exam, I know my last time I got work insurance they made me get a physical, so would need to see if that is a factor two. I never went that far yet, just because we cant afford where it is at now.
But my main point for sharing the information was to show that you can be told you have no insurance, including your kids here in America. Welfare is not the "answer" as some may think. You need to be put on the system to see its loopholes and bs you need to deal with to get on it, keep it, and for those who need it, get taken off it, as it is set up only to keep the ones who want to milk it on it. Not for really help for those in need, a front to take in taxes, and srew those who desperately need it and get denied it, unless they follow the rules which are to stay poor, dont better yourself, hardly work, and we will give you food stamps, money, and insurance. You try to better yourself, like get a full time job, and we cut you off everything, even though, on your full time job cant afford to get what we gave, forcing you to go back on the system with no other way out.
You are obviously able to use a computer and sit at a desk. You need to get a job at a call center. My wife and I live in Cookeville, TN and there are two call centers here. My wife works at one of them. If you can talk on the phone and sit and use the computer you can ear $10/hour full time with full benefits. I can't help you get a job but I can tell you where to start.
The problem I have is I cant always do it, and I am high 24/7. I am sitting here in great paid from my back and my head, and most the time cannot think straight. And once I get a migraine to break free of the drug, 1-2 times a day, I am worthless. I cant do a thing, like right now, its taking me forever to write this to you.
I so badly want to work again but in my condition, the way I am on and off the drugs, and without them I cant talk, look, keep my head up, and I shake all over. So I may be able to post now and then, and there are times I have a good day and I can get some stuff done, and there are days I cant get out of bed, and then the days I feel good once I try to do something, I put myself right into pain once I start to try to do something. And this cycle kills me. I cant leave my house for once I go south its really bad for me, and for me to be away from home only makes it worse, and worse for my family to have to quit what it is we were doing so that I can get home, so I just sit here, or in my chair, or in bed waiting for the day to pass. And because of my health care, they dont want to find out why I am like this, just that for the most part the pills I take dont let it get full blown all the time like it used to and they are happy with that. And for me to go change doctors really messes up my care I am getting now, and a delay in my pills. 2 days off my pills, just for pain, and I am screwed, my migraines are back in full force 24/ all day, all night, and never let up. I used to get them once twice a year, then per month, and then within the last year it because every day all day. I been on oxycotton, hydrocodone, horse tranquilizers, and been shot up at the doctors and hospital with who knows what, just for head pain, and all it did was make me higher then a kite or pass me out but still had to deal with the pain. Im not on any of them anymore, thank god, but on some others that the paid in still there on the left rear half of my head, but not near as bad as it would be if I was not on the stuff. And Im not effected by light, or sound, or anything a normal person with a migraine would have either. And once I got the full blown one going thats it, put a fork in me Im done and need to ride it out no matter how long it may take for it to go away on its own. Sometimes hours, sometimes days.
So I am able to function once in a while, not often. I cant cook meals on my own anymore, and need help alot of times just to get up and to the bathroom. I just want to get on SSI and hope I get better medical care, find out what the hell is going on, hope what ever it is is not to late to take care of it, and become sorta normal again so I can do some sort of work. I hate sitting here all day, doing a RC model here and there when I can, just so sometimes when I feel good enough I can do something with my boys for a bit in the back yard or at the pond.
And as for talking I can hardly talk anymore, which I told my doctor about. I stutter bad now, and can make more sense typing then I could if I were to talk to someone on the phone. There are times on the phone I can speak fine, then like someone threw on a switch, Im fucked and cant get anything to come out my mouth, and Im not really on anything that would cause that, and its getting worse. I can usually get something out short really quick, but to hold a conversation, forget it. And I have to go over in my head what I want to say several times before I can ever sorta get to spit it out.
And this is just over my head, not even about my back and legs which was the start of this all that made me disabled to begin with
I soooo appreciate the offer, and would take it or anything in a heartbeat, but there is nothing I can do right now, my hands are completely tied by the system.
