Today, my sister found out she contracted ringworm and scabies from her best friend's rescued kittens. The entire family now has to be treated to prevent it from spreading. There are 7 people in our house and none of us have health insurance. FML

Today, our new cat, which my mum was hesitant about letting us keep because she believes they're diseased, gave us all ringworm. FML
Today, I found out that people can get ringworm from cats. I found out because I have ringworm. I don't have a cat. Then I remembered I helped a friend move about two weeks ago, and spent the night sharing a bed with her cat. That's the last time I ever help her move. FML
Today, I was woken up at 2 in the morning by my wife frantically saying something about her having scabies, and that I had to take her to the ER. It turned out to be eczema. FML
Today, even though I'm the most neat freak germophobe there is, I was diagnosed with scabies. FML
Today, my sister is nursing an injured cat back to health in our home because she accidentally hit it with her car. Now I can't decide which is contributing more to my insomnia: the incessant meowing, or the constant itching because our house is infested with fleas. FML
Today, my sister had a friend for a sleepover. They filmed a video in which the friend was lying in my bed, singing. An hour after the girl went home, her parents called. She has lice, and had brought them to our house unknowingly. I can see each and every individual larva on my pillow. FML
Today, I decided to go thrifting to save some money. Ironically, I ended up having to pay for an emergency trip to the hospital because somebody was too lazy to wash the cat hair off their clothes. I'm severely allergic to cats. FML
Today, a friend who visited me a week ago with "allergy rashes" told me that it's actually scabies, and she hopes I didn't catch it from her. It takes 2-6 weeks for the symptoms to show and I can't use the medication for it anyway because I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I'm feeling extremely sick and itchy. I'd bought rats as pets to help with my anxiety, and they gave me ringworm. I now have ringworm in about nine places on my body, including my face. I don’t know which one is worse, being dizzy from the medication or the itching. I’m feeling more anxious than ever. FML
Today, my four roommates and I contracted lice. While all our heads were slathered in mayonnaise and saran wrap, our building's fire alarm went off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Now you see why it is important. Where do you live? I know a lot of the countries in Europe have healthcare provided for you and in the united states it is mandatory to have health insurance now..

Really? It's mandatory now? I have yet to hear that one...let me just tell some of my friends who have never had insurance to run out and get it or better yet the residents at the nursing home where my mom works. Some people can't get approved for it either because of pre-existing conditions.

I've had scabies, not fun. However, both can be treated semi cheapily. Ring worm needs topical steroids and scabies will be gone quickly with some neem oil also applied topically. :)

shouldnt have had those last 5 kids if they can't afford healthcare for the first two. harsh but true!!

And that is why American healthcare and being Catholic don't mix.. Also OP said there are 7 people not 7 kids.. It could be mum+dad, 3 kids and 2 lodgers.. It could be 5 adult offspring who should be paying for their own healthcare..
