SUBJECT: would u lie???
Would you lie if you know that it is best for your child?
My child is special needs, he has to see a lot of specialists, he uses special equipment, special diet, lots of meds, he had a lot of medical problems. No insurance would take him... We are "overincome" for WIC, Medicaid, SSI, healthy Choice. I have only 2 options:
1. No medical help for my child, meaning no special diet, no OT, PT, ST, no doc's visits
2. Lie to government to recieve Medicaid and have my child healthy, improving his condition
My concious will eat me up for option #2 but my heart will eat me up for #1. I am dipressed and stressed out because we cant afford 700$ payments a month to cover 10% of doc's visits, we still have to pay over 90% of medical bills - we just CANT
I just want to see what other mothers will do for their child. I love my 4yo more then anything in the world and would do whatever it takes to make him feel better but at this point I am very scared about his future without medical assistance.
Thank you for responses
