I don't have health insurance. Neither does my husband. We can't afford it on our unemployment. LOTS of people can't afford insurance, even if they are working...small businesses have high premiums and self-employed individuals have the same hurdles in obtaining something affordable. Don't get me started about how messed up the health insurance is in our country. My pills cost me $39 a month since I don't have insurance...
I know someone who recently had to have a mammogram (she is worried about a lump) and couldn't afford to do it because the medical insurance through her company costs too much money. She had to rely on the goodness of foundations such as The American Cancer Society and the Susan G Komen Foundation. They helped pay for her tests, which she couldn't have done alone. The good news is, we can help. Go to the following link and click through...your click helps bring in funding from sponsors and helps thousands of women to be able to have early detection if there is something amiss.
Help Support Mammogram Funding
Click once a day. Pretty easy way to give this season, in my opinion.

I have basic medical still leftover from being married to military. But it doesn't cover dental, and of course I have all kinds of things going wrong in there- namely a very badly done root canal gone ick. But I can't afford to have it taken care of, so I just deal with the ick and the head & neck aches.
Oh for Social Medicine.
cheers, Red White and Bush Admin.
