(62,325 posts)people, but there is simply NO empathy for the poor here on DU anymore. It is all about politics. I will not be covered either, but so what, I never was, I just won't get sick I suppose. I have been lucky so far in managing to be healthy. And I won't pay any fines either, they will have to sue me. I have other more important bills to pay. But I don't bother talking about my situation here on this forum where all you will get for being poor, is attacks, sadly.
Otoh, as Wendell Potter told us BEFORE this Health Insurance bill passed, when he expressed his concerns for the uninsured who were going to cow stalls to get free treatment from organizations that normally operate in Third World countries, to his Insurance Corporation employees, expecting some empathy from them, they told them what they saw in his photos of Americans lining up for third world charity, was 'a whole new market'. He realized then the Ins Corps were going to try to get Medicaid to pay THEM first after which they would take out about 30%, reduced later to approx. 20% or so we are told, in PROFIT. Money that in the past went directly to HC for the poor.
I apologize to you for the treatment you are getting. It is the reason why I don not discuss my personal problems here ever. Unless it makes the Dem Party look good, your situation, sadly, is of no interest here anymore. Most progressives who fought for the poor here have moved on. All I can do is wish you well. We who cannot afford HC have no advocates.
