I am 40 and worked since I was 15. I lost everything because I was considered un-insurable because of a pre existing condition. Recovering to where I could function on my own took a few years. I had encephalitis and a spinal injury. The prescriptions cost 1,200 a month while I waited 3 years for SSD, Social Security disability.

Are system is so broken and no one will be immune when the 37 million baby boomer's start needing help. Were in crisis now. Bushes SS prescription plan helped 250 drug and insurance companies, and a small group of elderly with little prescription costs.

It costs me, who now lives of 1,000 a month, more. If it doesn't help someone in my bracket, what the hell is ...

We have Socialized Schools, Libraries, Fire Dept, Police, yet the concept of not making money of the suffering of other humans and providing every American quality care with dignity is lost on the minds of many people. We are taught this is somehow wrong. Socialized medicine is a dirty word in America.Its time that change. If we can afford a war that was born on a lie costing 100 of millions, we can afford equal health care for all.

Poverty can be a trap, and most of those who proclaim the value of equality, and the right to vote (Emptying the ocean with a teaspoon), who have an interest in perpetuating the powerlessness of the poor. Often the opinions of the poor are disregarded, even though there are so many. With the actions of those who have thepower to effect change being "Well what are they going to do?"
I saw a cartoon once, which was more ironic than funny, where the first rung in the ladder to success was missing.

I saw a cartoon once, which was more ironic than funny, where the first rung in the ladder to success was missing. Has the idea of economic discrimination ever been considered?I know it has, but it needs more consideration. Still look at the progress we've made with racism. It's gotten worse, but is proclaimed to have been resolved, by changing the name, and the publicity it recieves. The world produces an abundance of food to the point where it is often destroyed to prevent an effect on the market rather than given to those that need it. Where essentials are only seen as an item on the balance sheets of those who already have more than they need. People have the right to vote, but don't have the right to live. The rich forget. Money is paper supported by rubbery figures, and can't last longer than a lifetime. Poverty can also be where someone is condemned to keep only their own company.
