Why the "is it her son or grandson" matters to me

While i agree that until we have more proof, we should leave this alone, the story being better suited for the great and brave blog investigative journalists, personally, I feel the real story is the insurance fraud.

How many Americans out there with kids are without insurance? Are they sleeping well at night? In my state, Dino Rossi, the pubs candidate for governor, brags about his last time in office when he changed the eligibility rules and dumped thousands of kids off of the state insurance rolls. Not to mention that insurance fraud is a crime, and a crime that is vigorously prosecuted out here in the real world.

And my own story, being dumped from Company provided insurance to being 100% responsible for my families premium, starting in Oct. I have no idea where we are going to get the extra money, No idea. And it is a VERY VERY large amount. It would be so easy for me to make up alternate identities for my kids, perhaps going to the doctor under a cousins name and leaching on to my brothers policy, but since i understand that could land me in jail, it is not really an option, other then my fantasies.
