Because sometimes $1400 a month to feed a family of four doesn't leave quite enough money to pay the insurance premiums.


Has your family honestly ever been on welfare, gone hungry because there wasn't enough money left in the month, had to buy rice or beans in bulk because at the end of the month it may just be the last weeks meals?

Seriously I am wondering this and not trying to pick at you.
