The Affordable Care Act, the US public marketplace for private insurance. Ignorantly referred to by conservatives as socialism.
Not even close to socialism or affordable. Currently paying $2400 a month on an ACA plan because my employer's benefits don't cover the services my disabled child requires.
Jfc, that's my mortgage at least 4 times over. Any money spent on your kid is well spent, but it's horrible that you must sacrifice that much.
I'd do it all over in a heartbeat but it would be nice if it wasn't so damn expensive. Compared to the literal millions of dollars all my kid's surgeries, hospital stays, home nursing, medical supplies, prescriptions, and equipment costs it's a small price to pay. So I guess I should consider myself lucky.
"Shit could be worse" never ceases to be true.
Best wishes from me, sounds like you have a handful.
