Journal Entry for April 7, 2009 Mood
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 | A Venting story
YellSmileI am so digusted. I have to get my knees replaced because I have severe athritis and in a lot of pain but I can't get medicaid or medicare so I suffer everyday But if I was an illegal alien I could get it or if I was a drug addict I could go in to  inpatient rehab a dozen times at taxpayer expense. I worked all my life and I get nothing.  I make 100 dollars a month more than they allow for you to recieve mediciad and you can't Get medicare until you have been on ssdi 2 years but I could have if I had been a disabled widow between 50 and 59 but since I was 60 I couldn't.  What kind of sense does that make?

    The system is soooo screwed up, isn't it? I've been told that if Rob passes before I turn 60, all I'll get is that one time death benefit of $250. Now, just what am I to do with that amount? I hope they come up with some decent changes and soon. So sorry you have to suffer with your knees. My mom had her's done and felt so much better afterwards.
