And then if you are sick enough to lose your job, that's it for health insurance -- health insurance is typically a job-related benefit.

This is true. Many (most?) health insurance policies have a maximum (often 2 million $). If a person has health coverage through their employer & then looses their job because they are unable to work, they often also are unable to continue health coverage payments which increase because they are no longer in a 'group plan.'.
The HIGHEST number of bankruptcies in this country are due to heath issues! (Another HOT button after the President & banks led people to believe it was because people were running around over spending on themselves)
injest:
yes and they changed the laws to make getting a bankruptcy very difficult.

You are right Del.
I am using the term "abandoning your child" the same way as in English you use the euphemism "giving up for adoption". Even language shows the different mentalities. We still think that giving up your child for adoption means abandoning it.
