I know some bring financial hardships on themselves by not living within their pay scales, but if someone has a serious illness or a sick child that keeps them out of work for months at a time,there is absolutely no help out there for them. You swallow your pride and try applying for Medicaid, just to be embarassed at the window of Social Services by an overly loud receptionist, involving all ears in the waiting area, informing you that if you aren't PREGNANT, you don't qualify! A life-threatening illness is not in the criteria? Isn't that a kick in the parts for someone who has worked all their life? This is a messed-up country that takes from those of us who will work, and gives to those who won't. Where is help for the WORKING PEOPLE who fall on hard times and can't have affordable insurance because of the blatant abuse of the system? Working people, look out for yourselves because you DON'T MATTER anymore!
