14. AND, if you're "sick all the time" like I've heard people say about ann romney -

WHEN, indeed, was it EVER true for her that she was deeply fearful that getting treatment for her illnesses would bankrupt her family? Deny them the college education they were all saving for? Force the foreclosure on their home because the medical bills consumed every last bit of their savings and their income and since she was sick she couldn't work so there went her salary that would have offset some of the logarithmically-increasing expenses.

ann romney didn't have to worry about ANY of that. I'm amazed at how many comments I'm reading, to some of these stories, where women not just here but elsewhere talk about having to go back to work within days of a radical mastectomy, while the wound was still oozing, with no day care, and fearful that her recent illness and hospitalization would result in the cancellation of her insurance policy, or sky-high rate increases that she wouldn't be able to afford?

No ann, I don't have ANY sympathy for you. And I HARDLY think you've EVER been overworked. When you have that kind of cushion to fall back on, where you never feel the hard floor, you should STFU and be DAMN grateful. And maybe tithe more than the minimum.
