Erm, if he's broke, what's the deal with the living trust? Seems like a completely pointless complication (and expense to set up and administer).
Yeppers. A decent living trust that isn't fill-in-the-blank DIY - i.e. one less likely to break if challenged - is expensive. And while forms may be included to make changes and addenda, those need to be notarized, an additional expense.
Retired teacher who doesn't have health coverage? I call bullshit.
Note:
I'm thinking 'Ex-teacher,' not 'Retired teacher,' here...
If ya know what I mean...
Yeah, if this
is more or less true, it's missing a lot of relevant information, such as why he didn't have a (using Obama's term) "Cadillac (union) healthplan". Further, a teacher who's managed to accumulate $30K toward retirement is not an un-tenured noob. Pigboy was tenured (if a teacher), and could scarcely be fired for any cause short of criminal.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds to me like he said:
*
Pre-OhBUMMERCare, his costs ate up his savings;
*
Under OhBUMMERCare he came to the brink of bankruptcy, and is unable to pay for surgeries under
OhBUMMERCare[/b] or whatever replacement(s) will be available.
Going very speculative, BigmanPigman did not specify what his medical problem is. Putting together the (claimed) facts that he's in constant pain and that surger
ies will be necessary on
an ongoing basis, plus his DU-name, I'm going to guess that he has degenerative spinal problems, and it's caused or exacerbated by his being quite corpulent. IOW, his medical problems are probably self-caused, and have progressed to the point that he can no longer reduce his fundamental problem through exercise - he stuck forks all up and down his spine, and can no longer remove them.
It's a sad thing that he's in chronic severe pain - assuming his
is true, as far as it goes - but
if it's self-caused, I have a hard time being sympathetic when he doesn't own his responsibility for being where he is.
