Cancer Patient Loses Medicaid
Just read in your column that for some reason we taxpayers can come
up with money to fix Seventh Street clear to Interstate 44 plus the
Four State Area. But for some reason we can't come up with funds for
medical aid.

Recently, I was told my Medicaid will be dropped Aug. 31. I'm a
cancer patient. Just one of my prescriptions is $300, and I'm on 11
different kinds of medicine. I have lung cancer and cancer in my
lymph nodes.

People like me - what are we going to do? I'm scared to death, I
don't want to die at the age of 56, and nobody else does. The
government is getting richer, and we're getting poorer.

1. That is just so fucking sad.
Another proud example of Baby Blunt raping our state.

I can't even see his face without feeling incessant fits of rage.

4. Not just Blunt.
We need to hold the republican representatives who voted for this responsible as well.

2. Blunt certainly has Dubya's style of compassionate conservatism
down to a tee.

Perhaps now he can make jokes like Dubya did over the woman's death row appeal about this cancer sufferer.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate these souless corporate automatons who pray in public and snicker in private?

also pay CEO's a decent amount for their abundant talent.

for fed reserve source of data on wealth, see Demopedia , page on Capital.... Demopedia top of every page here.

CEO's must come first. They alone generate coporate wealth.
--- Because CEO's are compassionate, they pay wages to millions of you. Only out of compassion. You deserve nothing, really.

---sarcasm off---------
==========
PS wages lower than when reaganomics began... adjusted for inflation. Reaganomics is a flop. Toss reaganomics. 25 years of failure is long enough for an experiment.
