I know this dance all to well..sadly it often ends in tragedy. All I can offer is this: stand by your friend,be a squeaky wheel at Doc,nurse’s etc..be a pest,a bother..support your firend,stay positive, laugh at the absurdity of things…love him and if everyone is lucky this too shall pass.If not then you will find yourself where Dusty and I reside~in pain from losing our loved ones~but wrapped in the secure knowledge that your loved one knows how much you cared and loved them..it is not much,but it is all one has.Peace and much good luck.

funny i thought he was talking about the congress and corporate welfare recipients…whose fraud and robbery of our commonwealth is greater then all the individual so called welfare AND medicare fraud wrapped together. He inadvertanly exposed a cold heart though - welfare is so bad for persons who need it but A O K for the big guys. He must believe he has excellent health care coverage..as a compassionate liberal who has worked in managed care - i see his humanity and hope he never has to confront his own health care crisis. The profiteers make no difference when it comes to our politics. They will deny for a coverage - any one of us “cost centers”

Its a single payer plan or nothing..as long as there is profit in health care - we are a morally bankrupt nation - soon to be financially bankrupt as well.

Note that he didn’t even stay on topic. The primary theme was about health care with a subtheme relatining to the sociopathic nature of misery-loving Republican conservatives. Had I wanted to address the issue of welfare I would have written abut Bechtel, Haliburton, Blackwater, and a countless number of corporations who accept corporate welfare either in the forms of subsidies, tax breaks, or outright handouts. But I didn’t mentio that so we won’t go into the topic of corporte welfare for mega million cheats and frauds.

And since you don’t know the particulars about our particular case I shall merely attribute your remarks to ignorance about this particular issue and many other issues and dismiss you as the knuckle dragging troglodyte that you clearly are. Oh, now don’t feel badly, honey bunch. Clearly, the Reich Wing that you suport so rabidly is COMPOSED of low brow, knuckle-dragging troglodytes, so don’t worry you aren’t alone. Just go back to your cave and do what you do best–walking on our hands, paitning on the walls, and slaughtering weaker, defenseless beings with your handmade clubs, spears, and arrows.

What planet do you live on Wiollaim? Evidently you get your information about Liberals from Fox Noise.

The elected Democrats might cater to the corportocracy, but the liberal voters do not.

As for your bullshit remark about welfare, its not even deserving of a response its so fuckwitted.

Let’s talk about compassionate liberals. All of their compassion is reserved for the 1. upperclass (the so called 3% which owns/controls the so called 95% of the American econonmy) which gives them their campaign money and support of the mass media and 2. those on welfare who are there because the don’t want ro work.
I usuially vote for the better of the two worst candidated the two parties can come up with. I seldom for for a candidate, but against the worst.

PraetorOne, as you know, I recently lost an extended family member because Medicare arbitrarily cut off his medications and, as a bi-polar, he found it insurmountable to keep it all together while trying to get his coverage reinstated.

No one is more angry and pissed at the powers that be as I am. No one. I blame the government for Chris’s death since they never gave a reason for disallowing his medication coverage that they had given him for decades.

This is a very hard post to respond to. When I arrived in this area of the state I was sch an angry, misguided kid, that few people trusted me. Our friend was only one of two people who saw through the angry exterior and recognized that there was more than just rage and distrust.

What can I say? We live under an Administration, a ruling regime that has little value for human life. Whether it’s the war in Iraq, or wokers’ safety, or health care, these goons seem to enjoy the misery of others, and to be frank, I’m getting very, very sick of it. These so called Republicans couldn’t recognize a gentle, caring emotion if it were to announce itself and stare them in their beady, reptillian eyes.

Big Ass Belle did a post this past week on her friends that are struggling with health issues and no insurance, or..almost as bad..inadequate insurance. BaB herself pays over 700 a month just for coverage that still leaves her with thousands of dollars in uncovered costs for her husbands cancer treatements.

Its all so very fucked up..where are the priorities? Who has the right to decide who lives and dies based on how rich you are?
