Sounds to me like she'd better either get a better job, or change her
belief system. It sounds like, with her financial situation and her
belief system, she's in for a world of hurt.
It's not that she isn't
looking. :-( Too few full time jobs in the
US. Despite what the federal government says with all their stats of
job creation and such, when you go look for a decent paying job, they
just aren't there. :-( Most of those newly created jobs are paying far
less than the jobs that were lost.
The job she has now is a decent paying job. But, like many employers,
it's just part time, and they make sure she works less than 30 hrs. a
week so they don't have to pay healthcare and other bennies. But by law
she has to pay for healthcare. Double whammy for huge numbers of
citizens. Crappy jobs and you have to pay for health care, where costs
continue to rise despite the promise of the President.
