They don't dispute that Joe Soptic lost his wife. They just insinuate that he could have done something different. Never mind that doing something different could have caused a food shortage in the house. I am assuming that he made around 12 bucks an hour on his second job and that insurance for two people would cost around 700 hundred dollars and that it would be next to impossible for one person to pay all the bills. They are a sick sick people now and I hope that the ACA will enable more of the RWers access to mental health care.
