Stories Of Struggle

• I was laid off over 5 years ago and am struggling without much hope to survive. I have severe cases of stress and anxiety all because of money issues. Food, clothing, automobile all are questionable. I have a very old 1994 car with over 218.000 miles on it and should it decide to give out, I will not have any transportation. I live alone. I at this time am supposed to have a follow up mammogram. It was supposed to have been done in January. I cannot get to the place where I could get the follow-up mammogram or whatever they need to do to determine whether or not I have breast cancer. I also need other areas checked too to ensure that I do not have cancer. What am I supposed to do? Medicare part D does so little to help with medical expenses for the elderly--including me. We need more help. What is wrong with you people always wanting to take away from the elderly and give to the extremely rich???? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??? Kay Eden Prairie, MN May 9, 2012
• Since my wife died '06 my income was dropped to $1000/Mo. It is very difficult to survive on that amount of money. It would help if Medicare would take over Schedual "D"and take "D" out of the hands of people who put the mess together i.e. insurance companies and drug companies. Also put a lock box on Social Security and stop using the extra money for war, etc. Bill St Paul, MN December 9, 2011
