re: Update on Nick Tullier, EBR Sheriff's Officer - UPDATE PG. 5 - How can you help!?!

Where was Mary working that she got "retired"?

You'd think the union that police officers are enrolled in would take care of these expenses.
Especially after reg health ins pays what it pays

Of all the frankly dumb shite our taxes pay for, how the hell isn't this one of them? He was shot in the line of duty and is having bill collectors calling, yet some moron who refuses to get a job gets money deposited every month on a Purchase Card (obviously there are people in need, but there are definitely people who abuse the system). Disgusting.

Makes no sense.

frick this gay earth...

Seeing your signature and being reminded of who does get Medicaid while Nick's parents struggle with this really pisses me off. He did the real work in the community, not some made up work that he whined about while getting handouts and asking for salt lamps.
He is MUCH more deserving of assistance than she is. Our government makes NO SENSE.

Such a sad frustrating situation. It sounds like this family could use support from people who know how to navigate in the world of medical insurance claims. They sound so overwhelmed.

Any OT experts in the medical/insurance field willing to donate their time and knowledge to this great man and his family? How about any architects who can donate their talents in designing an ADA approved home?

Everyone wants to blame the insurance companies every step of the way. Ridiculous, are they supposed to pay inflated medical bills forever until they go bankrupt. How would a single payer make anything better, unethical medical professionals would just bleed it dry. Do y'all not see all the false claims that come from Medicaid. This is a horrible situation that many families suffer from daily. I agree it lies upon the Sheriff's Office to cover medical issues but there has to be a limit right? Also if you are going to leave the entire cost in their hands than you almost have to leave the decision of pulling the plug with them as well. Hope God blesses Nick, that he is not suffering and does eventually get better or at least able to care for himself to a point.

I don’t believe he will ever be able to take care of himself, unfortunately. My family knows that I don’t want to be kept alive if my outcome might be anything like this. It is for financial reasons that I make that decision.

That whole serve at the will and pleasure thing....
