I’m sitting in the ICU and trying to figure things out. We don’t have insurance, but so just signed him on with my insurance, but it won’t take effect until January.
The insurance takes about 1/5 of my paycheck every month. I’m the only one working.
Our cars are paid off, but we still have to make a 1k a month house payment.
We have 5k in credit card debt that we had been paying off quickly, but now that we’ve added him to my insurance it will be hard to pay more than the minimum payment.
Another financial kink in the plan is that his prognosis isn’t good. We are still waiting on lab results to find out what kind of tumor he has. It’s not pleasant, but Gliomas have a 30% survival rate for 1-2 years. So I need to plan for that as well.
I know that we are about to get hit with an astronomical hospital (anesthesiologist, doctor, surgeon, lab tests, CAT scans, CT scans, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.) bill that I can’t pay.
And we have 3 young kids. How should I navigate this?
