'In a heartbeat, our lives changed completely. I had only one thought: I need to save my child’s life.' Jacqui Silvani of MomsRising testified before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday:
testified today before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government ReformI was driving home from work in June of 2015 when I received the kind of phone call no parent ever wants to get: My two-year-old son, Joe, was playing at daycare when suddenly half of his face was red and sweaty, while the other half was completely dry. His providers were perplexed. My husband and I rushed Joe to the emergency room and the next morning, after a 3.
Over the course of his intense treatment, Joe spent 210 days in the hospital. I was there with him nearly every day because, most of all, he needed me. At the same time we lost my income, we faced major new expenses. My salary was gone, but we had to pay full employee price for my health insurance during my year leave of absence, at the rate of $1,700 a month. There were health care costs that our insurance didn’t cover. Constantly taking Joe for treatment in Boston meant paying a lot for gas and parking. Hospitals don’t provide caregivers meals.
While Joe has recovered, our family is still feeling the financial effects of my unpaid leave. My retirement accounts are gone. We were unable to contribute to my husband’s account. We are still digging out as we support our three children. Yet we are the lucky ones.
