I can understand that Quadius, I worry about my wife who lost her life and health insurance december 9th of this past year, she gets unemployment for now but cobra insurance takes one complete unemployment check each month just to keep her insured...and the cobra and unemployment checks will eventually run out. We hope by then she can get another job with any type of insurance coverage but jobs are getting hard find now days. I do not qualify for any type of home aides here in Missouri and my kids have thier own jobs and lives--plus say they could not even handle bowel routines and typical care.. I guess Like you , I just got to hope she stays healthy.... sure don't want to go to a nursing home. Things have been good so far tho-- I guess we can just hope for the best and not worry ourselves to death. Dan H**

If an employee is healthy and happy they tend to stay longer and are more productive. In my case, I think it's imperative that I consider my family, who are my primary caregivers, health it has been almost as essential as mine. If there is goes downhill, the mine is bound to follow shortly thereafter if I'm not able to find a suitable replacement. Just my two cents. Quadius.
