Do Not Be A Sick American

Being disabled for three years now, after working hard since I was 16, it is a great disservice to be a tax-paying American that falls ill.  The rights that a working American, diminishing before us and we do nothing except bitch, far surpass those that this Hitler-like state of the Neo-United States has created.  When we do nothing as a whole, only those on top can survive.

I was hopeful that organizations that I had donated to over the years would help me when I had zero income.  No money for rent, food, toiletries, etc.  I did not have children so I did not qualify for most programs.  Several women advised me to become pregnant.  I did for a short period this spring, but my "hostile" womb decided that the fourth baby was still not the one to bring into this world.  Those that are willing to help single men and women without children offer spoiled meat, rotten milk, possibly toilet paper - never sanitary napkins or tampons for the women of course.

Medications - HAH!  Pay your COBRA so that you can get them.  If you have pain medications of any kind, unless its a Walmart deal, you will be paying full price with no help from the manufacturers.  And this new unified prescription manufacturer contract is just a way to put or elongate prescriptions back on a non-generic level due to the patent laws, leaving most people in the dust.

I've only been here for three years, but Social Security has only seen zero cost of living increase in the last decade and will be cutting incomes another 20% come October 1st.  Also, due to the economy, most states will be seceding any SSI or additional programs for the disabled (ie. food stamps, non-federal housing allocations, etc) as well as cutting most transit lines and other commonly used services among those on limited incomes.  If you cannot afford to pay for yourself you will be placed in a state run facility (isn't that how Hitler perfected the gas he used to euthanize over 15 million people - start with the feeble because no one cares).  A state run facility killed a good friend of mines brother.  Two doctors and three nurses watched a man choke on a meatball.  Thank the Lord her parents could afford a private autopsy or the "incident" would have been swept under the rug like so many others.

I do not understand why becoming ill made me a second class citizen.  All I, and most who are ill, have ever wanted is to get well and back to work.  Doctors just hit the refill button because it costs the clinic less than to treat you.  And when the doctor puts you on morphine... well you are beginning the euthanasia process. 

The real question is, what do we do?  Do we riot, like England?  No.  Do we decapitate, like France?  No.  Do we let religious conservatives say we are cursed so who cares, like we do now?  No.

We need to come together and re-arrange these programs.  We know what works, leave it be.  We know what doesn't work.  Modify it.  We know there are fakes and they make it difficult for those who are really sick to get any help.  Flush them out.  Send them to the "group homes" as they obviously have issues far greater than a bad back or cancer.  Let us not create programs that lessens a persons income for working.  Let us make sure Americans are fed, not those in Russia, first.  If Russia is that hungry, Sarah Palin can take it over a row boat at a time and keep her crazy ass busy. 

America needs to get the balls it has lost.  We need to be one people again.  There is not much difference between the left and the right.  And health does not discriminate or care about your politics.  It is what it is.  You are healthy or you are sick.  Going back to the days of laying shame on those that have been ill is not the time travel I've always dreamed of.  I am disgusted by my state and offended by my government.  In this day and age, that is a common statement - but please tell me there is a way to not deduce the money of the people who live independently.  What if it were you?
