Uncle Sam's Bail Out

Financial institutions aren't the only ones bailing out these days. It seems even Uncle Sam, who so willingly lends billions to failed former stalwarts of capitalism, jumps ship when it comes to taking care of the men and women who so courageously put their lives on the line for the United States of America.

The story told in this video demonstrates how hard-working, patriotic Americans are slighted by the system, unable to qualify for affordable health care and relegated to spend a great deal of money just to ensure that their children are given the proper medical care necessary for survival. This family of three had to pony up nearly $2,000 over three months for health insurance -- more than most facing similar situations can afford -- just to cover a lapse in health care coverage after a sailor suffering post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by fighting in Afghanistan made the transition from military health care coverage to civilian health care coverage.

If even the U.S. military won't take care of the very men and women who fight for our freedom -- not to mention the rights of the very insurance companies that refused to cover a pregnant woman -- who will take care of you?
