About Us
- Katie (and Ken) Baldwin
- OR, United States
- I am a graduate of the American Studies and Spanish programs of Brigham Young University, a lover of all things Humanities, and with weaknesses for naughty junk food, 1990s romantic comedies, beautiful clothes/shoes/makeup, and Halloween. I like to daydream about being a professor, an archaeologist, an FBI agent, or an actress. I also love my three adorable nieces. Kenny is a BYU graduate of the Engineering and Business schools who dreams of becoming a police officer. He loves everything motorcycle and guitar, baseball, basketball, and snowboarding, and would never say no to Italian food or clothes shopping. He loves horror films, watching food shows on the Travel Channel, and cop shows, all of which have led to some exciting adventures for us! We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, served missions in NYC (me) and northern California (Ken), and love the Gospel and our family and friends.

Graduation: 2012
Don't worry, children. It's just the Economy and all that "Hope and Change" your older brothers and sisters voted for. Pay no attention while it sucks your potential employment, your dreams for the future, and the likelihood that after college you will be able to provide for a home and family into the oblivion that is Real Life.
The president just assured us that the private sector is "doing fine." So no need to seek shelter and create a contingency plan!

So, under Karl's insurance plan at work, our girls' vaccines weren't covered unless we went to a public health clinic to get them. If we received them in our pediatrician's office, we'd have to pay full price. And because I didn't know about this (though Karl felt he'd told me clearly...a matter for another post), we spent close to $1,000 for three preventative vaccines between Camryn and Tamsin. And DO YOU KNOW how many vaccines a kid gets over, say, five years?! I was glad I'd caught on to the whole public clinic thing thing in time.
But WAIT!!! Thanks to Obamacare, because we have insurance (no matter that it doesn't cover vaccines, which prevent a host of extremely expensive illnesses), we can no longer get our vaccines at a public clinic. We already pay out-of-pocket for insurance. And now we have to pay out-of-pocket for vaccines on top of our insurance fees. Let me tell you--this is more expensive than what MANY people would pay for a personal insurance plan from a major provider. And we're a one-income family. Thank you, Mr. President,
But, but, BUT!!! I thought Obamacare was supposed to make all of our healthcare issues go away and make it free! That's what I was told! You have daughters - this is a WAR ON WOMEN!!!!
Yeah - in more ways than one.
