8PM March 21st, my stomach turned.....

At 8pm March 21st, my stomach turned, the Healthcare Reform Bill was passed. Since then my stomach has rolled over and over. I am dreading what this is going to do to my family and our health. Thank goodness I will be having our last baby on April 19th. Even if we were planning more, I think my mind would have changed due to the healthcare changes.
I will continue to pray for my children and hope they don't develope an incurable disease like their father. I will continue to pray that Wade remains a "healthy" Type 1 Diabetic. I am very happy for those who were unable to get insurance, will be able to. Both Wade and I have gone down that road. Currently we have great insurance in which I get from my employer, however, we pay through the nose for it. Now the Healthcare Savings Accounts will be reduced, we already spend much more than $2500 out of pocket for prescriptions and deductibles and other healthcare needs each year. I have some hope that maybe this plan will be amended over the years and our children will continue to have excellent and timely healthcare.
I pray all my friends and family are able to remain in their jobs and continue to be healthy. I pray cancer does not strike my family again.
