It is terrible to decide your child's healthcare based on how much you can pay. I've certainly opted against X-Rays for sprained ankles though the Dr. advised them. I’m so sorry Ashely.

One of those little rocks split the back of his little head open and there was about a 1/2 inch gash. After watching him for concussion for a couple of hours, cleaning the wound, shaving around the wound, cleaning it again and desperately trying to get a butterfly bandage on it we resigned to taking him into the ER. Where he recieved 3 staples and then the Dr. told me that he might have been fine at home, but this was the safest way because the wound was so close to the brain.. As luck would have it, the kids were dropped from the CHIP program about 10 days ago and last week I tried to put ONE of them on my insurance and realized it was going to ADD $340/mo...For the whole family? $700/mo total. We CANNOT afford that. Who CAN afford that? Why is that even legal?! So, anyway, yeah - something has to change. I can't tell you how crappy debating the E.R. (for financial reasons) made me feel..
