When couples must choose between life-sustaining medication and basic survival needs

My husband and I have been rationing his heart medication to make it last longer but we're both terrified about what that means for his health and we can't agree on whether to use our emergency fund that's supposed to be for rent or find other ways to cut expenses even deeper.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
