I'll quickly answer your question, Vic. I hope never to be financially poor enough to NEED public assistance and MediCAID. I've worked with people who did have to use these programs and they really are a nightmare!
Right now I'm not rich or poor. We're solidly middle class. I have decent medical insurance, but I couldn't afford my co-pay for Tysabri (over 800/month) so I stopped it. I have a mortgage and bills, so the medication had to take a backseat. I'm not extravagant and never have been, although I did have a "shoe problem" at one time.  .I'm all for investigating a more social insurance program like the ones in Canada and Europe, and I pray hard that I never have to know what it's like to be truly poor. Soooo on that note, no, I would not make myself financially unstable so that I could take advantage of the public programs. Last edited by janlici; 07-14-2008 at 07:19 PM. |
