Yes, I should have said AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE. If she had a child (under 19) or was pregnant she WOULD be able to get affordable healthcare, but because she doesn't-- she does not qualify for that kind of healthcare as you or anyone with kids would.
I do NOT get CS and alimony, that whole how happy are you post...I was being sarcastic since Susan's first posting was about how she would be 100% happy if she had MONEY.
Even with my help with $100/month she still cannot afford health care and isn't able to get private insurance because of her diabetes.
She will continue to work right now, when it comes to the point of being physically unable she will look into disability and then also look into finding low income housing in NY where she can get health care.
She does qualify for low income housing though...but not health insurance.

And there is now a little hidden proposal to force insurance companies to cover Cristian Science prayer treatment. Surely you can't 'buy' prayers?
I have to sign up for my insurance this week for 2010. Should I even bother?

Not sure what healthcare you think I'm on, but it's through my employer. Anyone who works there FT, qualifies for it. I also purchase my kids medical and dental insurance through my employer. They do have state insurance as a secondary.
"I do NOT get CS and alimony, that whole how happy are you post...I was being sarcastic " My bad, in that case, I make more than you get in cs or alimony.

I hope it works out, but I don't see her being able to afford to move if she can't afford insurance. Moves are pretty costly I always thought.

I just meant if you lost your job, or lost your insurance you would qualify because you have children. I understand you get insurance through your employer as of right now. If she loses her job, she would not have the same option of someone who has children. But it depends on the state too. Where I live you can't get affordable health insurance through the state. In NY you can be a single person and qualify for Family Health Plus. Each state has different programs.

I have a friend who works for low income housing, she would qualify for that (probably pay about $200 or so a month). There is a deposit of $500. She would just time it so that she would leave before her next month's rent is due, which is currently over $500. She would use that for the deposit and then only owe what the low income housing would be... That would be around $200'ish. As far as the cost of moving, she would have to have her kids (there are 7 of us) help her out with that. She does not have much stuff at all. She sold most of it when she left my Dad a few years prior and moved to AZ.

Would she lose any deposit by doing that?

"I just meant if you lost your job, or lost your insurance you would qualify because you have children." If I lost my job, I would be looking for another one, and not checking on how many gov freebies I can cash in on.

If I lost my job I would sponge off my wife like any smart husband would :). Then if she gave me any grief, i'd be " Hey Woman, either pay up now, or pay up with alimony!!!!"
