Recently the Ford Motor Company closed their automobile assembly plant in Atlanta (actually, Hapeville) and laid off the most of the remaining crew. Some took early retirement while others were offered jobs in other Ford locations.
All were given severance packages of cash and, in some cases, continuing medical coverage.
Apparently some have either had their benefits expire or did not qualify for extended medical coverage.
We have been made aware of one Chris Thaney who is a former Ford worker and is uninsured.
Apparently Mr. Thaney has multiple symptoms which cause him distress. He feels he cannot seek proper medical treatment due to lack of insurance.
While we certainly empathize with Mr. Thaney, we feel his attempt at self diagnosis and possible treatment is a bit unorthodox and should be avoided by others who are in a similar situation.
