Now they'll have to get up, and work full time as I have had to do for the past 20 years. If the able bodied people worked there would be plenty for those who actually need help.
Wrong . It's been gutted by the right . They have "Workfare" . You Have a certain amount of time to get employment , then you're off . Many time a minimum wage job at MacDonalds is enough to get you off workfare , even though it's not a livable wage . If you're lucky , you get two minimum wage jobs and don't have a couple of kids at home to worry about being alone while you're working , or how you'll afford day care .

A good snake bite might cost up to fifteen thousand? Back surgery cost thirty thousand. Hospital room three hundred and eighty five. Doctor visit you in hospital a hundred and fifty. Even if all he does is look at your chart. I cannot afford to be sick. I have to take my chances with the snake's venom.
In the America I understand that up to 40% there have no health insurance so what do you do if you are poor and ill?

First of all... I'd like to inform the people in the U.S. that the so called "Health Care" is NOT health care at all!!! 😕
The system should be called "DISEASE CARE", cause in the U.S. nobody treats healthy people... they only treat diseased people! 😲
And there's even a BIGGER problem than that: The doctors are being BOUGHT by the drug companies ...[text shortened]... hem drugs that they not only don't need, but cause the person even MORE damage to their bodies!
