Yesterday I worked at the free clinic
and sometimes my work isn't upsetting
and it doesn't get to me
but last night it really bothered me
almost everyone I seen was really quite sick
and everyone had high blood pressure
and they had horror stories of how they went to ER
and the doctors treated them like shit because they didn't have
insurance or they had bad things going on and waited till Wed to be seen
because they didn't have money
and they lost their jobs and they had coverage
until such and such a date and now its gone
so many people lost their jobs that were there
hardly any young people
all people in their 40s/50s who had worked their whole lives
and don't anymore
all people that work and are barely making ends meet spending their lives
just pay check to pay check day and night at a job they hate
and they aren't even worried about their health they are worried
about missing work because they don't wanna lose their job
even if their working means no rest...no re-cooping
just concerned about making money so they can pay their heating
or their car payment
all people that they had insurance but then had cancer as a pre-existing condition
so their health insurance dropped them
or their husband had history of heart attack and insurance was offered at his job
to everyone....except him..the one that needed medication the most
so his heart attacks didn't reoccure...
all people with a sad sad story...
Yeah, we don't need any sort of health care reform
to people that run these companies/some doctors
these people are nothing but trash
and it just makes me ache
because i am one of them
and i love them for how thankful they are
i love working there
If there isn't health care by time I die
I'm leaving all my money to that clinic
and considering that the wonderful governor of michigan
sitting her nice cozy house enjoying her socialized medical benifits
cut our 75,000 dollar grant helping our clinic
we don't need that money after all right?
People need to get their fucking priorities straight
