the state of Washington let my adult daughter die

eventhough she was working...she earned too much money...$700 she was told she was $3 over the limit
Her condition would have been taken care of with RX
How can you as people in this nation let this happen?
You have no idea how I hate this country...you who have money can get health care while the poor die
The best thing is not to work at least you might get medicade
What a horrible country I was born into, killer by default
Do I sound angry..geez...I wonder why

No words suffice...

I, too, made a a few dollars too much to be able to get help with healthcare, but the cost of insurance through my employer would have put me totally in the red and left nothing for any deductibles. Only because I am healthy that I'm here...

I am so sorry for your struggle and your loss, Stargazer.

Obviously a lot more needs to be done to make affordable health care available to EVERYBODY in this country.
And it should be funded by taxing the 1%.

I too had a family member mistreated by the medical system. Its harder to take when you know it could have been done differently.

Yes…

No society should be this anti social… We have to potential to all care enough to do something about it, too.

I am sorry.

This is a mean, sick, twisted country in many ways. Yes there are good people here, but we allow too many cruel people to call the shots and make the policies.
