WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN INCOME TO LIVE ON

WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN INCOME TO LIVE ON

This is a personal situation, as I am trying to help my mother-in-law get some-sort of health-care. A few years ago she lost her husband and now as a widow she collects his social security, so her income is below $800.00 a month. She is a few years away from being eligible for Medicare, and according to our wonderful officials in government positions, she is not eligible for any kind of medical assistance because her income is way over the amount required to get help.

My mother-in-law is not asking for any kind of cash or food assistance, just some sort of coverage and she is willing to pay as well, so there is no reason to think that she needs a hand out, but the system turns its back not only on her but for many others that are between the age of 60-65, and have no health coverage.

For those few that grew up with a silver spoon, or have a nice nest egg, do not understand the plight that the majority of people are going through in this country. These people questioning the notion of President Obama’s health care vision, do not know what it is like to wake up thinking how they will pay their bills or even have a plate of food on their tables, let alone think about going to a doctor, but millions of Americans do wake up worried and scared as to what the day will bring.

I have stated this before that for the United States and the rest of the world to move forward, humanity must learn and embrace the concept of sharing and for those that life has given them a silver spoon thanks to the hard work of others, should think twice about life because karma is very real and what comes around goes around.
