“The one that got me was the one where she knows she needs to see a doctor, and can’t afford it. That’s horrible.”
That’s also horsepucky! There is Medicaid, free clinics and even the emergency rooms that the illegals use frequently. I think that entire post is made up crapola and you bought right into it!

I don’t think so. I know people who live like that. There are lots of procedures people need, and that are not available at free clinics.
She obviously is managing to get by, but not buy anything but total essentials. That wears on a person after a while. I know many people living like that. In fact, most of the people I know down here in FL are living like that.
People are struggling - the whole construction industry has just shut down here and it was a major employer in my county. The old retired folks down here are taking in their entire families.
Like I said in my previous post, the person I spoke to yesterday couldn’t afford to go out and buy her medicine. She 1) has no car and 2) has no money and 3) is too ill to walk far. I know her well. She’s not dramatizing.
You don’t know poverty until a friend drops by your house at 8 in the am and asks if you have $3 or $4 so they can put a gallon of gas in their car to get to work.
The real problem is, she thinks the answer is more money into programs so she CAN get the type of care people have to pay for. The answer is to stop voting against prosperity.
