its been a crazy few months here.. hubby's father has stage 4 esophogeal cancer that spread to the liver, and his sister has been battling stage 4 colon cancer for a couple of years.

She has been in the hospital for a few weeks now, trying to get some issues resolved. Things aren't looking tha great for her. Her insurance company is kicking her off her plan as of August 1st, and told her yesterday she has to get to a rehab facility and take chemo immediately they don't care if she isn't well enough to handle it. she has to do it.

she can go home, but if she does then the insurance company gives her a waiver to sign that she is going home to die, and they will no longer treat the cancer, no pain meds no nothing....

so basically if she leaves to go home  she's done for... only a few weeks left to live. 

my issue with this...      all the money we pay for insurances over the course of our lives and she is getting hosed.   she can't go home and be an outpatient.. 2 crappy choices if you ask me.

where is all the money going we pay for insurances? whose pocket????  cause when we really need them to help us out, they are kicking her to the curb.
