What I want to know is the pharmaceutical and insurance big business ties are to our government, and why they are plotting to keep sick, if for no other reason than from worry that we WILL get sick and have to pay these obscene premiums.

Good Lord!  Sorry for all that you are going through.  Can't be easy.

I have heard that Seniors have to make a decision between their meds and putting food on the table.  It really sucks.

I know, and that's why I do everything I can to help my local seniors. With our landlord raising rent 3x in one year, he can't buy his medications anymore. So I help him with some extra money, he's helping me with some financial stuff... and well, I cook often for him. :) He might be moving (rent-free) to Hawaii though, and that will be good. Believe it or not, he's an elderly (88) gay, REPUBLICAN! :D He's so sweet. But it has definitely given me an incentive to save and plan.
