Do you have a savings account for your pet?

This post is in response to so many of the questions that come to this board. The number of times people state that they can’t afford medical care for their pets is just heartbreaking to me.

I do not understand why people choose to have pets and then not take some care to provide for their medical needs. A savings account should always be kept for them in case of something serious or chronic shows up.
If we choose to take the responsibility for another life should we not also make the financial means necessary to make sure that they stay in good health?

How would McCain’s health care plan effect me and my family?
Atreyu’s Mommy & Due Aug 24 asked:
My husband receives free health insurance from his employer, which also covers my son and me. I am not exactly sure how McCain’s health plan works for those who already have health insurance. Do we still receive the $5,000 credit? I read on his website that it goes straight to the insurance company or into a health savings account. Is that only if you have a credit after your taxes are deducted from the $5,000 or will we still owe taxes and just have $5,000 sitting in a health savings account? We’ve never paid more than $4,000 a year in taxes. Please explain as much as you know. I just don’t know how it would all work.
I know that he plans to tax our benefits and that most likely we will loose our benefits because of it. He works at a small paint contracting company (owned by my family) and they are struggling as it is. They may either drop our coverage, or start charging us for it.
I am looking for information other than what I already know. I don’t need to hear why I should support one candidate or the other, just looking for facts on McCain’s plan. I have already chosen who I am voting for.
