Health Care
1/16/2010 at 12:32 PM
I am posting this for a friend who is having problems wit the government getting health care for his wife.
Why do people work all their life and then get sick and then get no help for them because(no money for extras, just enought to live).
Why do sick people end up making bare minimum wage end up having no rights or any quality of life?
Does the government not want older sick people to be in their own homes if possible rather than the hospital if it is posible for them to be at home?
Why does the government spend thousands of dollars to make a home handicap accessible, but then no chair for the ramp, no oxygen concentrator in the home, anything that is needed for her care?
Why does people not have the right to stay at home with family that is willing to help them?
While in hospital she's on oxygen, but when they send her home they won't send home the much needed oxygen needed. While she everything she needs for the quality in the hospital but then they send her home with nothing. then 10 days later shes back in hospital because she doesn't have the equipment she needed.
This problem started in September and is still going on. We still have no equipment but they make it accessible for her to be there but she can't because she still doesn't have the equipment for her to live at home. Is this what we gotta look forward to if we don't have the money to pay for our way in life? Shouldn't we be able to live our happiness to the end without all this b.s.? I am just wondering if someone can help us understand how we can get the help we need or what we can do to get the help? Or is this what we have to look forward to for the rest of our way of life?
