Cant imagine what would have happened had she not have health insurance, She recently said she figured she would have died without her coverage.

I really feel for you guys, with all you've been through. You're much stronger than I.
I can relate to the money problems, since we've gone from 2 to 1 income, and have been that way on and off for the past 3 years. We've drained our savings as well, and I've had to dip heavily into our 401(k).
But we have, thankfully, had our health. That definitely puts things in perspective. I don't know if I could emotionally survive health problems on top of the financial ones.
