To all of you Republican conservatives-this morning I hate you

It is hard for me to breath and move thanks to damage to my heart because when I fell off the deck I didn't know blood clots forming in both lungs..because I could not afford a doctor office visit....thanks to a Catholic hospital I live to tell you what a heartless group you are. I am 77 years old difficult to find a job because of it. I live on 900 dollars a month The state of Washington says I have too much income to be medically covered. Rent in this area is around $1000 a month.
There is no group as proficient as conservatives to bring more misery to a human. I am as valuable as you are despite your money, in my opinion France had a damn good solution to your kind. Do I sound pissed? Geeze I wonder why...

and I don't blame you one bit for feeling as you do. Repukes are despicable when it comes to health care for the needy. We will change that this fall!! Hang in there!

Are you the former Starlord, the Lone Sidewalk Astronomer of Rosamond, CA?

Dennis (Starlord) would load up his 8-inch Dob in a little red wagon, pull it along the highway two miles from his trailer park to downtown Rosamond, and show passers-by the wonders of the universe.

You say you don't qualify for medical coverage. Would you qualify for some type of housing help due to your low income?

Here's a link I found: https://www.hud.gov/states/washington/renting

Your story and a million more need to be told a million times a day so that maybe someday the wackos will realize their policies have nothing to do with politics or religion, just people being hurt.

But I thought maybe......

Yeah when my uncle had kidney failure, before disability kicked in, that 20% about bankrupted him. Then disability lump sum payment rescued him.

He stays in a house on our farm so we don't charge rent. It helped him get back on his feet. He claims I'm a slum lord.

Daughters just bought me a trailer by the railroad tracks because we looked all over the state and this is what we could afford. They pay half my lease payment. I get about a thousand a month with my widow benefits. Thank you family. I hope you have people to help and care about you because it is getting harder to survive under this administration. I had a roommate for two years who ruined me which is why my daughters stepped in. I just went to community resources yesterday. They subsidize rent and utilities and will help you get other services. Like food and medical. Maybe there is something like that where you live. Wish you the best.

I was just lucky to have bought a place with a small house already there. We lived in it while we built our farmhouse.

My uncle likes his independence so he likes having a very small house to himself instead of living in the farmhouse with us.

Family really does matter.

Aren't you able to get Medicare? If you only have $900 a month, there are other resources for you.

I am so very sorry to hear what you are going through. Don't give up. There is help out there.

The only difference is that I live in expensive S. CA and rents for a 1 bedroom are $1,2450. My ACA takes 25% of my disability insur/income. I live like a pauper...no new clothes, haircuts, vacations, etc. I can't even afford to go out to eat without a gift or movie card. I get a lot of gift cards these days since I basically need money and can't work. I have several diseases and one is going to kill me and cause SEVERE pain and bankrupt me and my parents (84 years old). I sing the The Hate Republicans song all the time. When I hear about these asses in DC ripping people off and laughing at us I want them to get seriously hurt and broke so they will suffer like you and me. :bang head: :Gr:

I guess you have Medicare part A but the B is off limits to you because of income. They threw lots of people off of B coverage when SS payments went up by a couple dollars and that took them off the assistance for B. They did not raise the income level by a couple dollars to match.

I feel the same about republicans. It won't help you now but be sure to contact your state reps about your situation. They are accountable - Dems and R's.

Please write letters to the editors of all your local papers.

Your story must be told. And letters to the editor can have huge effects. You can help punish Republicans for their damage by getting your story out into thr public.

Thoughts be with you and hope you feel great very soon.
