Money and Depression

Not crazy thought!.  I wish we all had one and the funny thing is that governments have the power to make this happen...they don't because the people who really need them to help are not well enough to lobby for these changes.  I don't think you're asking too much of your fairy godmother! R

HI, I AM ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAS NO MEDICAL INSURANCE, AND, I HAVE SO MANY HEALTH PROBLEMS, AND NOWHERE TO TURN. MY HUSBAND IS 75 AND HE GETS SOCIAL SECURITY, A PENSION FROM THE UNION, AND HE WORKS A PART TIME JOB...HIS INCOME IS WHAT MY INCOME IS BASED ON...I CANT GET S.S. UNTIL NEXT YEAR WHEN I AM 65....SO, ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS IS THAT I WAS TOLD LAST YEAR THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE CATARACTS REMOVED RIGHT THEN....NOT THIS YEAR OR NEXT BUT RIGHT THEN....THE DR. DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY WHEN I TOLD HIM I HAD NO INSURANCE, SO, I GOT NEW GLASSES...400.00...I HAVE HAD THEM ABOUT 7 MONTHS, NOW THEY DONT HELP ME VERY MUCH. MY WORST FEAR OUT OF ALL MY HEALTH PROBLEMS IS GOING BLIND...I DONT QUALIFY FOR ANY KIND OF AID BECAUSE OF MY HUSBANDS INCOME...HE MAKES A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH TOO MUCH......SO, HERE I SIT, TRYING TO SEE THE SCREEN AND WONDERING HOW MUCH LONGER I WILL BE ABLE TO USE THIS WEBTV. IT IS HOOKED UP TO A 36 IN. T.V. AMERICA DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ELDERLY, THE POOR, OR THE IN BETWEEN...I LOVE MY COUNTRY, BUT, THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM STINKS.......BEST WISHES TO YOU....JENNIFER
