Why do I work? Our shitty medical insurance didn’t cover all of the cost associated with the birth of our first daughter. I pay $4,000+ a year in premiums and then they stole $4,200 from our tax return. Basically the whole return. I made about $6,000 too much a year to qualify for Medicaid. That money ($3,000) from the government was to help with the cost of raising a child. How should they be allowed to take that?
