Working people do not stand a chance in this country. The gop caters to the wealthy, and STUPID citizens vote for them! Anyone with a lick of intelligence can see that the gop is for the wealthy. Civilized countries have made sure to have affordable healthcare for their citizens, except for this country. My 45 year old son died for lack of healthcare. He was laid off, could not afford $600 a month, kept hoping to be called back to work. He just got sicker and sicker. I offered to pay for a doctor visit, but he said "They will send me for all kinds of tests, and I will be in debt for the rest of my life" How could I argue with that, it is true. Meanwhile millionaires like McCain and Cheney cost taxpayers millions for their coverage. Even Dole is still on the take. The Bush family is still draining the treasury with health costs and Secret Service coverage. We, as a country, are royally SCREWED. I am so sorry for your situation, it is a disgrace in this day and age that any person should have to worry themselves sick about healthcare.
