E, I gotta give it up to you man... your composure for the year so far has been pretty solid; it sucks to see you in such a situation. Hell, I for one, can't afford to shell out more than $1k at a time for emergency expenses or payments, so I guess you can be kind of grateful you even had that scratch to take care of yourself and your predicaments. I'm sorry to hear that all of this shit has happened to you, but you seem like a hard worker and all-around good dude. I think everything will come back to you. If I can do anything for you (which I'm not sure exactly what since I live way out here in the desert) let me know. Sending good luck and karma your way!

im pretty sure if you lost your job you could/should have received access (gov't healthcare). did anyone at the hospital make you aware of this?

yes the IRS has laws about this and its not in my favour... and since the company already paid me out the salary and the tax was included in it and it was spent there is nothing that can be done, if however this was spotted in the beginning then it could have been stopped but it was never advised upon... and the IRS still demands their money.

Are there any financial agencies out there that deal with these kind of issues? It just smells hinky that you would be solely responsible for a mistake you didn't make. Maybe there's a loophole that the IRS doesn't want you to know about.
In any event, here's hoping things get better soon.

Why don't you sue your employer for all the trouble you are going through, isn't it their error that put you in this position?

But seriously, a blog by unemployed designers could grow to a big thing eventually. Pics, daily updates, rants.. A million still employed designers following, sipping morning coffee, feeling better about their own situation..
It is hard work to run one though :)
