There are options out there....(sm)
but a lot of it depends on where you live. I live in TN. TN had the grand idea that they didn't want the govt controling medicaid here, so TN just took the funds and set up their own program. Since that time they've been dropping people like hot cakes simply because of mismanagement of funds by the state, and at this point they are just about bankrupt. So, at this point if you live here you can't get regular medicaid, and about half of the population who would normally qualify for it can't get TennCare coverage either. There are some other programs out there, but not many, and a lot of people don't have the resources to find them.
Nobody is forcing her or you to use those options -
That is what I don't understand. Why do you feel "forced" in any way because that option is available.
Cigarettes kill millions of people - do you feel like they are forced on you?
Alcohol kills millions of people in one way or another - do you complain that that is forced on you?
Drugs kill millions of people - do you feel that is forced on you?
You have the choice of educating your daughter and letting her know that you do not believe that is an option in your lives - nobody is forcing you to make that choice... it is just like the other things I mentioned above, they are available in this world, but they are not options for me and my family and they are not forced on me because they exist.
Both options stink, but if I have to vote
I'd vote a)---the lesser of two evils.
Distressed Homeowners Get New Options
President Barack Obama's plan to aid troubled homeowners, set to be unveiled Wednesday, will include efforts to cut monthly mortgage payments, allow more borrowers to refinance their loans and give bankruptcy judges greater power to modify mortgages, according to people familiar with the proposal.

Only if I felt that all available options had been considered and rejected...sm
How long has the US had nuclear weapons? More than 60 years. Iran, if they have any capability, it is very limited. Any serious threat or attack by them would only result in their ultimate annihilation. However extremist they may be, they know that.
You have other options and yelling wont do any good
I have been around longer than most and frankly, my dear, I could care less about what one "perceives" the government to be doing with "our" money. We have funded so much crap in these states, 1 more does not faze me in the least. Get off your soap box, get back down to earth, better start thinking about how you (or you and your family) are going to raise that $10,000 apiece for the buyout when your last president left. If it does not affect me and my immediate family, I could care less.
