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

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%.
