After spending 10 weeks in the hospital, and visiting the girls everyday during their 2 week NICU stay, some of my most favorite people are nurses. They certainly made a huge impact in my sanity and they literally saved my babies. Your compassion will absolutely move you to make a difference---not just in the lives of individuals, but in families and communities and subsequently the world. Thank you for your prayerspost9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09792042486573915066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917661517706715203.post-20166914822975404212014-03-29T22:59:55.360-07:002014-03-29T22:59:55.360-07:00Hi Kate!

Obamacare is working better in some states than others. Healthcare in general in the USA is a mess. I don’t think Obamacare was the best answer, but for some people it has helped. But there is a BIG difference from state to state. Not sure why that is. I’m sorry about your situation. It should never happen in a country like ours. I think the REAL problem and “evil” about our system is the fact that people’s healthcare is TRADED LIKE A COMMODITY ON THE STOCK MARKET!!!! Does anyone else think there is something inherently wrong with this?<br />Elder and Sister Swensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306511998354484331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917661517706715203.post-86112723671381083062014-03-27T19:04:05.381-07:002014-03-27T19:04:05.381-07:00Our state is also paying hours and hours of overti...Our state is also paying hours and hours of overtime to Family and Children Services workers because of all of this mess. Instead of getting more help for everyone, there is less and many people I know have lost their insurance they have had for years due to ObamaCare. I pray for you, your family and everyone who has gotten entangled in this web of misery called ObamaCare.CharShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235731164025951873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917661517706715203.post-8163917027963550212014-03-27T13:29:42.639-07:002014-03-27T13:29:42.639-07:00I am a caseworker in another state and I am sadden...I am a caseworker in another state and I am saddened by how Obamacare has wreaked havoc on Medicaid, and states. I just cannot believe the amount of pain and suffering this has caused and why there has been so little media attention to it. There is talk about the exchanges but little talk about how many states are unable to properly process applications since the new year or about the known state/federal denial loop problem between state medicaid determinations and healthcare.com automated medicaid suggestions. I don't have an answer nothing works now and my state is massing huge overtime costs and still getting more behind.Freedomreignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048242281022443652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917661517706715203.post-55751347661775559372014-03-27T09:58:38.794-07:002014-03-27T09:58:38.794-07:00Oh my goodness, you poor thing.

It is so unfortunate what Obamacare is doing and will continue to do to our healthcare options. Good luck it all. We are also without insurance for the time being and it's a scary place to be. I just have to share with you the the comfort and peace that has come from having essential oils on hand, as i have been able to care for my family at home without having to incur any medical bills as of yet. They truly are empowering and work. Let me know if you want more information. I know they could help your family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473616653521273197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917661517706715203.post-46743658715526387002014-03-26T22:19:13.317-07:002014-03-26T22:19:13.317-07:00I can't even imagine how frustrating this situ...I can't even imagine how frustrating this situation is for you!!

Your story is not the only one I've heard... it breaks my heart, but also infuriates me about the ethics in the business of health care. I'm grateful for this new and humbling perspective your story has given me. I really do believe that it's in the individual lives that we can each make a big difference in this world. I'll only be one nurse but I hope to be able to do that. Your story motivates me to do all that I can to get involved and make a difference. Your sweet family will be in my prayers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450797687460345504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917661517706715203.post-89833429217433602802014-03-26T18:47:28.208-07:002014-03-26T18:47:28.208-07:00So, I don't know you - I'm your cousin Dan...So, I don't know you - I'm your cousin Danny Challis's wife. I posted this to my fb wall, and one of my friends who doesn't know you said to pass this along to you. I have no idea what it is, or if it will help, or if you've already seen it - but I said I would pass it along. We are praying for you guys, and I promise never to ever say to a parent of twins, "two for the price of one!" http://www.patientadvocate.org/NURD/index2.php?application=underinsuredKate Challishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635514280917316353noreply@blogger.com
