I hope to GOD none of you who read this have to go without health care and only go to the ER's or have to take someone you love there without insurance! My 37 year-old son was diagnosed with MS and a rare form of eye problem called Devic's Disease after a year of going to ER rooms and having been treated with the most outrageous humiliation you can imagine! He lost all his money in the hurricanes of 2004 in Florida and then spent all his savings trying to get the diagnoses he needed to get SSI! We kept trying to get a diagnose for his illness, that made him jump around like he was hooked to electric wires and almost loosing his eyesight, but it took 12 months almost to do the day for us to find a competent Neurologist in Florida to order the test (evoked potential) that proved he had these two problems. :shrug:

My son is getting worse all the time and after this diagnoses he received his SSI and Medicaid and we thought that he was going to be OK - WRONG!!! Now we find that he can't get the medication he needs and I am still fighting for him! I am so stressed out it isn't funny - so many like him that can't get decent health care here in America when we send 5.5 BILLION just to Afghanistan to help them with their health care and God only knows how much more to other countries which probably don't even get to the poor souls that need it! Where the HELL is the help for our own citizens???? :banghead:

VOTE Democrat this fall! It is our only chance to gain back our rights! In the last budget ALL Repub Hypocrites voted FOR the cuts in Medicaid and ALL Dem's voted against - along with 13 other Repub's that voted against because most of them are running in Nov. and have close races! :kick:
