134. I have a friend with severe fibromyalgia who has no health insurance
so she has no meds. she just sits in severe pain and takes it. nothing. spinal stenosis. nothing. she knows it will eventually kill her, but she is 60 and has nothing . no money, no job, she gets a little money from working for her dying stepfather where she has POA. otherwise, shes too sick to work.
problem is, to get disability in this state takes years. she has applied and re applied.

so its a crap shoot now for her.

lots of people I know who just gave up and accepted disease and death. they know they wont see any help.

in the meantime, we have reached over a trillion dollars spent on wars.
