Right now my employer takes out $500 from my pay check in order to cover my wife alone for healthcare. The main problem is my wife is not working and my salary is not sufficient to cover every last expense.
It turns out the government really does give out government cheese! WIC which is a government plan for pregnant women, provides this and more. Growing up - my dad would go visit his friends in long island, do "Body Surfing" with his friends Sal and Billy. At the end of every meeting - my dad would make reference to the fact that Sal was a "Welfare recipient". Over the past year I've found out how hard and easy it is to obtain government assistance!
My brother was laid off from his job, a child on the way and one in school he was able to get help from the government. With no income he qualified for medicaid - which has no co-pays and no cost associated to him. He also got some dental work done - I was 18 when I had my last dental procedure covered removing my 4 wisdom teeth.
