"You fall through the cracks and there's nothing you can do about it," said the 52-year-old home health aide. "It makes me feel like garbage, like the American dream, my dream in my homeland is not being accomplished."

I don't know...the Episcopal church is pretty lax on nearly anything. Homosexual marriages are honored, abortion isn't frowned upon, and even seen as necessary at times, etc.

I'm not Episcopalian, I'm just saying...there isn't much for them to impose on others, politically speaking.

that's just following the trend, it's not much, but it's progress I guess. If there's no trend to begin with, their ideology would naturally lead them to imposing ideas on others, it's the nature of religion.

Perhaps if we spent less money on corporate welfare and useless wars we could afford to take care of our poor people. Damn liberals.DaBrainz

In Mississippi, $8,200 a year is too much.

Holy mother of f*ck, I'm an 18 year old kid working minimum wage and I get more than this.

Not to mention I'd f*cking drown in expenses if my father wasn't helping me.

Seems like there's an association between %religious and %heartless, at least when we look at distinctions between US states.

That's the problem. Those are the people I want my tax dollars going towards helping - the ones that actually work. It's the low end blue collar workers that get the short end of the stick. If you don't work at all, you get the benefit of all these social programs, but if you actually get off your ass and put some effort in, they punish you.

It unfortunate that some people can't afford healthcare, but at the end of the day if the government doesn't have the moeny they don't have the money.

The US apparently has the highest health care spending per capita.

So either the system is not efficient, or medical costs became unrealistically expensive.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Abbeten"] Why does every other first world government have the money but not us?Abbeten

hardly even a "price" considering there's no real evidence this perceived long "Wait time" has hindered quality of treatment.

Afterall, the average life expectancy of every developed nation is significantly longer than the US, including some developing nations.
