Focusing on healthcare is great, but what good is it when you don't have enough money to eat?

Just askin...

I guess I'm sayin -- on edit -- so many of my friends
don't have jobs... can't find jobs... been jobless for
over a year... unemployment running out...

I don't see how we are going to employ Americans when
jobs are being siphoned off to overseas at such a fast rate.

1. Could you explain what you mean by that? n/t

2. Demands that all receive both are appropriate.

3. You go get food stamps n/t

[ejpoeta]

4. can you get them if you are young and have no dependents??

5. I'm not sure if it is determined by state or not,

but here in Florida food stamps are determined by income.

7. Yes

And if there are states that don't allow it, that's a right wing idiot issue.

6. If health care wasn't on the backs of business, they would be

more inclined to keep jobs in this country. There's a reason GM builds cars over the border in Canada. This economy will never improve long term until your friends' jobs are brought back from overseas. I find it strange this is never brought up in the health care debate.
