My husband has been 100% permanently disabled for the past 6 years. Because of his disabilities, I cannot work outside the home - someone has to be here to care for my husband. We live well below the poverty level. My husband recently needed surgery to repair an aortic aneurism just beneath his heart that was ready to burst as well as a 2nd aneurism in his leg. During the surgery, the doctor had to put my husband on a heart-lung bypass machine. The surgery cost more than one million dollars of which Medicare paid 97% of the cost. Our problem is that because of our other bills (rent, electricity, car payment for our only car - we live in the country miles from anywhere & can't afford to move, furniture payment, car insurance montly payments, loan payment), we have literally no money to pay toward my husband's remaining medical bills. Our church gives us groceries every month & our children's schools supply our children with their clothing, shoes & school supplies.
