When I got Zhoie, I seriously researched and debated what would be in her best interest. I opted against getting it, only because I don't believe the reimbursement is what I would expect. I do however, have funds put aside in the event it is needed.
I think it is an individual choice and what works best for you and your circumstances.
Also, I love my girl with all my heart. However, as much as I would want to go to depersate measures to save her, I know in my heart there is a limit of what I would put either one of us through. That too, is a choice for each individual and what they believe is the best for their baby and to what degree of treatment and lengths they are willing to go to.
Oh, and Clark Howard gave a big
