Government Stupidity

Our government is stupid and just downright idiots when it comes to what's good for our people. Okay, first off I understand everyone's need for insurance but when the government approves insurance for people who ask for it just incase they need to see the doctor for the flu or some crap but deny it for a person who absolutely needs it because they have a lifetime disease... Tell me where the insurance company goes right denying a single mother of four kids, working two jobs and going to school and can't get insurance because she makes too much. Really she makes too much, how does she make too much when she's working herself to the bone with two jobs just to make ends meet and you want to tack on hundreds of dollars for a doctors visit? I'm sorry but how is that okay? Does the government not take into account that people have bills to pay, food to buy, clothes to get their kids, and most times school supplies? Then you have a single man with diabetes which is a life sentence and if not taken care of can kill you but he can't get insurance. Another man with deadly diabetes who by the way woke up with a sugar level of 588 he's lucky he woke up but he can't get insurance at all. A single mother with severe COPD amongst other problems is denied insurance. But yet a woman with 6 children from 6 different men can get insurance. Or a single man working a 30 hour job making 12 an hour by himself can get insurance just fine. Tell me how that's right tell me how our government insurance can let people with severe and deadly diseases walk around with no insurance and pray everyday that nothing happens to them but you can give insurance to a person who will go to the doctor cause they have the flu and no other reasons. Does the government not take enough from us with taxes? They want people to pay out of pocket for insurance or doctors visits, really, how do you expect us to do that when you are stealing all our money in taxes? Then you charge outrageous bills and then even if we do go to the doctor without insurance, the bill is so crippling that paying it back takes years.

Seriously our government needs to get their priorities straight and find a better way than this. Figure out a way to make insurance affordable for everyone no matter who they are. Stop giving free insurance to people who don't need it, pay attention to those who really do, those who struggle every day. Medical bills fix that crap I know things are expensive but in our society bills like that are just downright unbelievable. It's already hard enough out here I mean heck it's 400-450 for a 2 bedroom house then at least 90 for a water bill then 100-150 for electric bill on top of gas which is around 100. Let's not forget the 200-400 in food depending on how many live there. Don't forget the 100-150 in school supplies depending on how many kids you have and their grade. Oh wait let's also tack on car insurance, car tags, oh yeah, and phone bills.

So lets see that's 700-800 in bills, 200-400 in food, 100-150 in school stuff and then anywhere from 200-500 for everything else. Now why would you want to go and make those struggling with 2 jobs and barely surviving pay even more for a doctors visit instead of giving them insurance? How in the world is that fair?
