Hi Moby, let me start by saying I listen to you every morning. I have an idea for your soap box. My husband and me are both blue collar workers, working 40 hrs a week at minimum wage. It takes both of our incomes just to pay our utilities. We don't drive fancy cars or even have Internet at home because we financially cannot afford it. We are close to the poverty level to be truthful about it. But we provide for our 3 children just the same. They may not get all they want, but we do our best. We can't afford health insurance for ourselves. Our children, thankfully, have a medical card threw the state of West Virginia. So for my husband and myself to get hurt or sick is something we try to avoid at all costs. Well a week ago today, my husband fell and broke his ankle. He has to have surgery to fix it. Well, where we don't have insurance you can imagine the stress we are under now. He can no longer work till his ankle is on the way to recovery, which the doctor told us would be at least a month. I've had to pick up a second job because we are losing his income. I'm never home anymore from pulling 75 hrs in a week. My house is starting to show the effects as well. Well my husband's orthopedic doctor will not do surgery without insurance. How is that helping the working man get back to work? What happened to this great land of ours? What happened to the "good ole days" of years past where the doctor would come to you? What is the working man to do? If you have any suggestions for us, I would appreciate it. I'm ready to cry from all the stress I'm under right now. I'm ready to just scream at the doctors, the president, and anyone else that should be helping but isn't. I'm at my wits end, I'm lost and don't know which way to turn.
Thank you for taking the time to read this Moby. Just from your radio show every morning, I can tell you are a wonderful guy and your wife is a lucky woman to have you. There's not many of you left.
Sincerely, Renee Eldridge
I'm at a loss, Renee.
I wish I knew a magic potion to help all of us, but I do not. I understand the storm clouds are all around you for now.
We have some pretty serious issues on our end of things, too. These are dark days for certain.
My belief is that if we simply don't surrender, if we keep putting one foot in front of the other, if we continue returning the love we get from those that love us,
ultimately it will all work out,
We are God's children, ad I think we're nearing a time that even if we can't make it on our own any longer, there's a greater plan than we realize, and the sunrise is just beyond the horizon.
Go to your husband, and hold him. Tell him how much you love him.
The two of you gather those three gifts from God, and know that we're all in the caring hand of the One that created us, and that surrender can never be an option.
I can only offer my prayers, and words of support. You have both of those coming from my heart. God bless & yeah baby, MOBY
