While Senators Denounce Medicaid, The Uninsured Turn To Charity

While Senators Denounce Medicaid, The Uninsured Turn To Charity

Commented Nov 22, 2009 at 17:03:11 in Politics

“"The uninsured turn to charity." The truth is that it is the unisured WHO OWN nothing can turn to charity. If you own a home and try to get health care without insurance the doctor, clinic or hospital will file a lien on your property and take it from you. So, the middle class is currently "stuck." Either pay the outrageous premiums demanded from the for profit insurance companies or risk getting sick or injured and losing their home. Nice choice, huh? Yet the gops continue to obstruct on any kind of real reform. Geez.”

“It's the same for Medicaid. I'm going to lose my job within the next 8 months and the only income we'll have will be my husband's social security. He's on Medicare and our income would come within Medicaid levels for me but we'd have to exhaust every dime we've saved for retirement. I can't do that to him so I'll be one of the uninsured.”

“Yup. I have friends and family who have those liens on their homes. And they have health insurance! Some of them have even had to legally separate from their spouses in order to qualify for medicare.

And this coming from many of the people who spout off about "Christian values."

Absurd. Our progeny will look back at this time in history and wonder ...”

“Never a peep during the Bush administration and now that we have president who is trying to straighten out this mess, the teaparty folks call him H!t. ler. Give me a break. No one who is paying attention believes what you just said about the teaparties not being about President Obama.

I h ate what has been done to the country, too--by a small minority of rightwingnutz who have no decency, no respectability and civility--who you are defending. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.”

“As an older woman, I have watched a number of women lose their long time husbands to de ath. The women who depended completely on their husbands down through the years for emotional and financial support as well as yard work and home repairs just fell apart upon the losses. The women who had other interests separate from their husbands, managed their own money and career choices, got along quiet well despite the loss.”

“Absolutely right. Simplification, divesting ourselves of the multitude of "stuff," learning to live with less is extremely rewarding spiritually. Not to mention, cheaper and less to keep clean!”

“MsTick. How interesting to see your comment. I too am much happier living almost "like a hermit." I love not having to make any compromises, having time to contemplate, taking time to smell the roses and do whatever I want, when I want. Many of my female friends have expressed admiration for how much I have pared down and simplified my life! At times in my life I was a successful career woman, a wife and a mother. But, I am definitely much happier without the stress that all of those jobs brought into my life. You are right, too, happiness is in the eye of the beholder.”

“Oh, I am so sorry you see the world that way. I have been alone for 30 years and I do not recall feeling that way, perhaps because of my choices of where to live and work and who I associated with. I sincerely wish for you to find a more secure place for your life.”

“I have said this for years. The women's equality movement promised CHOICE. We were suppose to choose the kind of life that we wanted without limitations. We could become educated. We could succeed in business. We could be a mother. We could be a wife. They sky was the limit. We could be what ever we wanted. Unfortunately society, and our ownselves, forced us to try to be everything at once. Totally impossible and, in my estimation, left many women frustrated, angry and, yes, unhappy.”

“Perhaps you could produce just ONE such image. The only one I can recall was temporarily on moveon.org, submitted in a contest and immediately removed and apologized for. No one ever showed up in public wearing g uns. May I also remind you that the Secret Service says threats on the president's life have gone up 400 percent since Obama took office. Does that not tell you that there is something terribly wrong coming from the right that never came from the left?”

“Show up at presidential public events? Like when? W never had any, and all possible sightings of protest were completely removed to several blocks out of view. He never spoke unless it was a preselected, hand picked audience of supporters. These people shouldn't even begin to pretend they have a leg to stand on here. I'm still waiting for their "free speech zones" to be enacted on them.”
