27. It is difficult enough as it is for me

We are already living in poverty! What is this crap about "sending the disabled into poverty" exactly?

I'm trying to get by on $900.00 a month and my husband is on SSA and gets less than $500.00/month and is a veteran and he is going blind.

Just yesterday I went to pick up an RX for him and his eye condition and the co-payment went from $40.00 to $100.00. I did not have the extra $60.00 to pay for it and his doctor is willing to give us a "sample" for the time being whatever this means. am I going to do?

Thanks a lot Obamacare.

These people would like to be rid of the disabled in our society. It does not matter how long we may have worked and contributed to the "system" before becoming to ill to work. It does not matter than I personally worked for years preparing grants to find a cure for AIDS does it?

These bastards are indeed low-life scum. They prefer to bury their heads in Wall Street casino begging for more free money and as for disabled Americans, well screw us because we are considered to be parasites and worthy of nothing!

Disgusting situation at best -- let these pigs try living on next to nothing! They would not last one week living like this!
