I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED BECAUSE THE STATE PROGRAM HERE HAS BEEN REMARKABLE. IF I HAD NOT HAD IT YHRRE IS NO WAY I COULD AFFORD TO RECEIVE THE TREATMENTS THAT HELP PREVENT THE ONSLOUGHT OF POSSIBLE INFEVTIONS THAT COULD WORSEN AN OTHERWISE MAINTABLE CONDITION LIKE HIV. THE MED I TAKE ALONE WOULD COST MORE THAN I MAKE IN A MONTH....AND THATS JUST THE MED - DO I EOULD BE FORCED TO BE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS IN ORDER TO SIMPLY STAY ALIVE. THID KIND OF BEHAVIOR IN OUR POLITICIANS IS NOT TO BE TOLERATED WHATS NEXT THEN ELIMINATION OF CANCER DRUGS FOR CANCER PATIENTS.....REFUSAL TO PROVIDE TRANSPLANTS FOR PEOPLE WHO COULD OTHERWISE LIVE. IT IS DISCUSTING EDPECIALLY IN A TIME WHEN JOBS ARE SCARCE TO KILL OFF PEOPLE WHO COULD OTHERWISE BE PAYING TAXES AND WORKING JUST TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS. GOV. QUINN YOU MAKE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND YOU DONT DESERVE TO BE IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY........WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO RULE WITH EMPATHY. TRY WORKING A LITTLE HARDER FOR YOUR PEOPLE INDTEAD OF TAKING A COWARDLY QUICK WAY OUT OF AN OTHERWISE BLEAK SITUATION. OTHER STATES AREN 'T PULLING THIS TYPE OF POOR DISCISSION MAKING ...SO WHY ARE YOU. THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE YOUR A LAZY POLITITION

With so much waste going on in state governments you would think it would just be a matter of making adjustments in how money is handled by creating a more effective budget, I guess if it were that easy they would make those changes, I have seen many situations where some large corporation have contracts with the states, they have employees that earn above average pay, they get 100 percent free health care, and it is expensive, what really disturbs me is that were looking at trying to find some way to afford our meds, because every where states are cutting medicare, its like coming and unless we stand up and make some noise there will not be as many of us next year this time. Does that sound like a bad movie script? You bet, but apparently soylent green may be nearer than you think.
