I agree. This makes me so friggin' angry--some people can get aid to pay for unnecessary $hit like that while others can't afford to have medical procedures to
save their own lives?!?! It's sickening, it really is. That's one thing that I really wish would change--everyone in this country deserves health care, not just the rich ones or ones who can somehow beat the system.
When my boyfriend had a heart transplant as a kid, his parents had health insurance for him through his dad's company but the insurance people tried to drop them--and only them--because they were costing too much.
Luckily his dad was in a high enough position to get it worked out, but I think it's really horrible that we have come to such a point that an insurance company would want to drop a 13-year-old kid's health insurance because he was unlucky enough to have to have an operation like that.
