I felt so frustrated for you as I thought about how illegal aliens can get all the "Free" health care they need for their children. Then here is your family; your husband has served this country in the military and he is serving his community as a police officer, you all have paid taxes for years and you cannot get adequate health care for your child!! I was stunned to read that people actually suggested that you get divorced so you can look poor enough to qualify for the health care! And I was totally shocked to read that someone could actually suggest placing your son for adoption so his surgeries could be covered! Thats outrageous!Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049070597439640401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195045074797096815.post-1830242710434797022007-06-11T12:23:00.000-07:002007-06-11T12:23:00.000-07:00That really does suck.
