My in-laws aren't getting one because they made over $200,000 for the year... I know they are pro-rating downward beginning at $150,000.... so you make over $150K? Or is there another reason they are pro-rating...sorry, I don't have time to go investigate. I am supposed to be working as I type this.

You have every right to feel that way.

I was a single parent too, for many years. I received and took NOTHING from the government and all. When I did need something.....I was in my backyard and a huge piece of wood fell on my leg. I didn't have health insurance at all. I didn't go to the hospital or my doctor for about a week. One of my friends hubby is an ER doctor and I went to their house one night, cause the pain was horrible and not getting better. He said that my leg (ankle area) needed to by x-rayed for a possible breakage. My ankle area and whole foot was black and looked like it was going through the bone and such to the other side. Before I went to the hospital, I went and applied for medicade in my area. I needed help with the hospital/doctor and other bills (medical wise). I had no income at all and I was a single mom.....my boyfriend was paying all of our bills. The government turned me down....and didn't bother telling me, until I had already gone to the hospital and such. I had to pay everything out of pocket.

I hate as well, you aren't alone.
