This is for “worried sick.” I’m in the almost same predicament about health insurance. Mercer County Board of Social Services acts like its their own damn money coming out of their pockets. Food stamps, too. They’re just as crooked as anyone else around. I’m 52 and last week I was sick but couldn’t go to the doctor. I had to stay home and buy over-the-counter medicine. It took me two weeks to get better. If I had gone to the doctor, the bill would have been over $100 but my insurance would pay only $50, and I would have to pay the rest. I’m on Medicare, though not all the way because I’m not 55, and that sucks, too. Tell that person to call me, I have a social service book and maybe we can get together and make some phone calls. Health insurance sucks. It’s really bad. That’s why people are dropping dead like flies: They can’t afford to go to the hospital, or to the doctor.

It’s the same sad story being told all over the country. The best plan for now is to stay healthy, if you can. —Ed. Note
