Forgive my asking, but if it’s just social security at 70%, and NOT disability, wouldn’t that be a choice you made?

I am truly not understanding your condition. If you need SSDI and yes, an attorney is wise, they do NOT require any payment up front! They get paid on the back end.

As for medical care, I don’t understand your claim. I am uninsured and have no issue getting medical care, without medicare or medicaid.

I would like to understand what you are saying here. Thanks

Of course I chose it. I could either take early SS, or go on welfare. I believe welfare would have been a lot more: free food, free heat, and Medicaid. But it's mooching, so I took the Soc Sec instead. My late husband had to pay into the system, like it or not; the govt gambled he'd live longer than he did, and they lost!

Whether I need it or no, whether the lawyer is paid up front or no, the doctor most certainly needs to be paid. Who is to pay him? I can't. It's that simple.

Glad to hear it. But where I live, there are no doctors who do freebies, and the hospital ER will provide little besides references to individual physicians elsewhere -- FAR elsewhere -- unless the patient is suffering a hemorrhage, a heart attack, or some other condition liable to result very soon in a dead patient on the premises.

I would like to understand what you are saying here.

I'm saying that although nearly everyone seems to believe it, the poor do not enjoy access to health care. Hospitals do what they must to avoid legal repercussions, but doctors are still asking -- quite properly -- to be paid for their services.
