  Yuck. Capitalism at any cost.

  That's where we are, folks.

  It doesn't matter which figurehead puppet is in place- Bush, Kerry, etc. It all comes down to who pays for the election/reelection campaign. That would be the lobbyists and their financiers.

  Don't even get me started.

  I have a chronic illness, and can not get health insurance. I've been denied by numerous companies. My health is too unreliable to get a job outside the home, so no chance of getting insurance that way. Our family-owned home based business could get group insurance that would cover me, but only if both of our young, healthy employees also accept the coverage. (Our company would have to pay 50% of their costs, too, which would put the bill at somewhere in the range of $2500 a month.) They can get better coverage on their own, so they're not interested. That shoots down that idea, too. So I'm stuck with no health insurance.

  Last year I needed major surgery. Since it was a life-threatening condition, I could get the surgery even though it was known that I had no insurance to cover the costs. But now we're stuck with tens of thousands of dollars in doctor and hospital bills. It will take us years and years to pay them off. At least I live in a state where they can't take your house to pay your medical bills.

  I'm feeling really crappy lately but I really can't afford to go to the doctor. Most likely it's nothing major. I spoke to the doctor on the phone, and they want to run tests. Expensive tests, and I can't afford it. So every day, I wonder if I'm being stupid by ignoring my symptoms and hoping they'll go away, or if I'm doing the right thing and avoiding thousands of dollars of extra expense by sticking it out. Should that even be a question I have to ask???!!?

  I get our family's medications from India. Good service, same meds, generics at a fraction of the cost. It's illegal? Well, allowing your tax-paying citizens to grow sicker because they cannot afford medication that will keep them healthy is unconscionable. When you do it to protect the bottom line of some of the richest companies on the planet, it's criminal.

  If Phizer would just lower costs here they wouldn't have to spend so much time chasing down these criminals! It really is sad to see what is happening to this country.

  I can't wait until 2008! I will be so happy to get rid of Bush. Jimmy Carter must be a happy ex-president because he will not be known as the worst President in US history, Bush has taken that spot. I like OBAMA and Giuliani, no more Clintons please go away, we need someone fresh and articulate who cares for people and SMART and get us out of this war mess! There is some much to say I'll stop right here.....

  Isn't Hillary Clinton all for getting Health Care for every American? Let's face it: anyone is an improvement over the current idiot running the show.
