Don't do me any favors!

The fact is that nobody here has all the facts but it seems that some people here enjoy kicking people in the stomach ( like in this case with Delswife ) when they are down and out.
Nobody knows why she has no insurance but can go on vacations and truthfully it's NOBODY'S business but theirs. She didn't ask for a handout, she was simply upset about the quality of medical care that Nikki received and nobody had the right to tell her that she is a negligent parent , a bad parent or a freeloader of the system. There are a lot of reasons why people don't have insurance not only financial, sometimes it's not a voluntary choice not to have insurance.
So until you walk a mile in the same shoes and get all the facts, don't be so quick to judge.
Robin certainly did not deserve this.

Did I miss the part where she was relying on people such as yourself to pay (albeit indirectly) for her DD's hospital bill? I could have sworn she said she was going to pay for it herself..

Yes, you missed the entire point I was trying to make.

What point? She never asked anyone to pay for it, all that she said is that her family is wealthy and she was going to pay for it.

Sorry, I attempted to clearly state my point in my original post but perhaps you missed it or I wasn't as clear as I thought.

I do think people feel strongly about the subject because frankly, those of us who do carry health insurance on our families, pay for those who choose to use no insurance and using ER's for their medical care.

I have/had no intension of attacking the OP. I was simply trying to state my opinion on why people feel urged to comment on the lack of insurance statement.

that was my point. Sorry if I was unclear.

I don’t have insurance that is true. What SMMC didn’t realize was that I have a wealthy family. Before I got off the Maine State turnpike I had 3 MasterCard numbers and 2 Visa card numbers, no limits on any of them.

I'd take that no limit credit card and charge $7200 to your DH's insurance provider for a year's worth of coverage for your family.

they are jealous

Heck yeah! I'd love to not consider paying insurance premiums because my family will pay my bills for me. All while planning Disney trips. That's the life for me!
