I am stuck with no hope I have lost all faith in my life and my way of seeing this world and lost all faith in a goverment I thought took care of people that truely worked hard .. and cared for this for any mishaps to have them live at least comfortable with very little worry...to get better....Honestly the way I live my life way way way under the poverty level I would rather be died to end this suffer and struggling and my self worth being stipped to nothing.. but emptyness and crying constaitaly ..I am way to depressed and now aching with cronic pain and now copd to rise to the occasion and over come everything the goverment as made me face...I also will be telling the United Nation the care of americans just as I..I have tried to help the goverment with ideas to save money improve lifes ect... and Rich dont listen to the poor .. and your the ones that made me poor nor listen to words I speak totally hopeless This is all way to much for one person to handle .....If I was to even take my own life to stop the suffering and the ingorance of my goverment for what they have done to me...what message would that give to my 4 adults kids .. the message would be when the goverment takes care of you you will become like your mother and also take your own life what a future to look forward too..and because of all this i lost my indepentence and my spirit

When this country is in crisis like the way it is ,,,, Then God help us you must stop all forgien aid and explain to them that americans in a time of need themselves right now ...THIS IS A MUST ! Also start bring jobs back to the United States now!! So what it cost more but it will benefit in the end... Stop making China more powerful by giving them jobs..also why dont you show all Americans that are you are also willing to help this land out and if also a gift to you by taking even a small cut pay every month and annoucene it to the American people... you know what that would do for the moral of Americans and what they will think of this goverment by you all willing to do this Bring God back into this Nation you took him out of almost everything say a person was to abandon you how would you feel ... angry ... upset ...and also would abandon them... God feels like we do ....believe in God just think of what I said...MOST OF ALL LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY SAY YOU SEE A BABY ABOUT TO FALL AND YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER WOULD YOU ALL STOP TO KEEP THE BABY FROM FALLING OR CONTINUE TO ARGUE AND LET THE BABY FALL....( THIS COUNTRY AND AMERICANS ARE YOUR BABIES GOVERMENT STOP THE FIGHTING BETWEEN ALL OF YOU AND HELP US WE ARE FALLING ...IF YOU CONTINUE TO ARGUE THEN THE BABY WILL FALL AND IT WILL BE TO LATE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL..

Aidpage Open Letter: Insurance isn't there

Dear Folks:

We have carried private medical insurance, paying full premium believing we would have full coverage if we should ever need it.  I have been on Social Security Disability since 1996 and chose not to have their medical because we were already covered and we thought it would lighten the load on Medicare.  I was shocked and dismayed to receive close to $20,000 in bills Cigna says I need to pay because I did not elect to have Medicare Part B.  My husband has been out of work since the end of September and we are in no position to deal with these bills that we thought would be covered. That's why we struggled to keep the premiums paid.  The bills are from brain cancer radiation and kidney cancer surgery.  Isn't Medicare a payor of last resort so our primary insurance should cover this?  Isn't it fraud that we pay and don't get the coverage?  I'm so upset...

I would like to start to say thank you Mr.President,For thinking about the low income and the middle class, I wish we had more to give but we don't,It has come down to what can we afford gas to go to a Doctor, Can't even pay co-pays ,food, medications, Their just isn't enough money to pay for these things.I tried to get a grant to fix my home , Because are insurance company denied are claim , I tried the insurance commissioner and he said he sided with the insurance company. I have Toxic mold in my home, it's not our  fault this happened . We hired people to fix it and just had more problems, We are now on Social Security, fought for about 8 years.

Because we have put alot of our money into our home , when we were able to work, But now we are old , sick,and can't do the things we use to do ,and it's a mobile home,I tried to  get help But could not get any help from Snap, hud , fema,epa and many others I have way over a 1000 e-mails, letters, out there,they tell me their isn't anything  in grants that can help us ,I have had two  boughts of cancer, my husband had a stroke, my son has asthma, but yet the Rich can get Grants,

President Barack Obama. Thank you for making our dream come true...A black president. We are proud of you. I am a single parent with a lot of concern, mainly how my son and other college students suffers at the end of the semister to make money last. Food is going up and so is living expense. I have watch students drop out  of college because of not enough money to last. Trust me, medical emergencies do happen. My son is a junior in college and want to continue on and get his masters. The pressure college students are under is very disturbing. Seem as if no one want to hear this problem. Yes, I know getting a job on campus is hard. There is a waiting list. There are jobs off campus, but he has no car. Can you guys address this issue please. Give a student credit for trying to better his life... Will await for respond...

Shirlon Y. Trent
