Well Gimp, my post was too long for most to read, but I've lived it.
Most wear blinders and look at what they refer to as lazy people taking advantage, not looking at the facts that a larger majority are people with illness. Before the economic meltdown caused by corporations getting rich, over 62% of bankruptcies were due to illness, with most having medical insurance in the beginning, a large percentage middle class.
When you get a serious chronic illness, you'll soon find yourself in serious trouble. Our healthcare is based on mass profits from insurance, to pharma, to overpriced medical care and if you find yourself seriously ill, you'll soon see you don't fit into the profit plan.
Some should look at facts.
