Health Care, the Economy, and our Families

Check out this great article from the Philadelphia Inquirer

It's scary to think that 4 million more families will face loss of jobs and their health care coverage this year (2009). The ripple effect will place more families in stressful situations, causing more substance abuse, more marital discord, and an increasing burden on our social services.

Imagine if you were to lose your job and health care coverage for you and your family tomorrow....... or next week. Imagine the sleepless nights and the challenge of keeping it all together. It's an arduous task to maintain healthy marriages and families, but with the added stress of no money or health care, I think most of us would buckle under the pressure (myself included).
