social fund. (UK benefits) I have searched the DWP site and I can’t find one. Any help would be appreciated.

Just because someone experienced economic difficulties in their life does not mean they are lazy bums or poor planners that ruined things for themselves! Things happen! Further more, even those whom you consider to be lazy deserve healthcare because they are HUMAN!

How can you expect someone to build something for nothing?!!! DO you know how hard it is to pay for health insurance if you are not one of the select few, plus wait for it for months to go through only to be rejected for some crazy reason? “Get a job” is not that simple! Sometimes working 80 hours a week isn’t enough to meet all of your needs, let alone pay for healthcare!

You say that you are hardworking. You say that you don’t feel it is your responsibility to pay for other’s shortcomings! But how do you expect society to function if there are so many people living off the thin end of the stick? And why the heck are you so terrified of having a little bit of your money taken from you in order to help keep society healthy? Taxes don’t slow an economy, in the end they better it by ensuring that everyone has the basic rights that all human beings need, ensuring that children will grow up not worrying so much for mommy because she is wondering how she is going to pay for the medical bills, and giving those in a bad situation a chance to thrive and better themselves through affordable healthcare!

If you were in the position of someone who needed affordable healthcare, would you enjoy being denied it? What if your own kids grew up and something happened and suddenly they couldn’t afford to buy health insurance? Would you like that? Furthermore, have you ever been really sick? Have you ever lost a job only to find that you can’t afford to buy new health insurance even though you are a hardworking citizen?

You can say all you want about lazy people that leach off the system, but it the end, you are denying your fellow man a basic human right. This country is supposed to be a family, not a divided line. Everyone deserves affordable healthcare. To say otherwise is to say that there are some that are less human than yourself.

My father, for example, owned a small business and one of the core tools he needed to run it was the ability to think quick on his feet, manage the budget and speak to clients on the phone or in person. However, during the economic crisis his business shut down. Shortly after, he suffered a mild stroke that impaired his ability to speak and think. Of course, he could no longer perform the tasks needed for his job and sunk into a deep depression. Oh, did I mention he was also a diehard republican? This hardworking man suddenly couldn’t pay his extensive bills and because we lost our business, we had to buy new healthcare, which was incredibly costly to do with only my mother now taking care of us. Shortly after, he developed diabetes and broke his hip in a fall. When we took him to the hospital, they threw him out because we didn’t have adequate healthcare at the time, repairing his leg half assedly and leaving him worse off. The rest of our family helped us out the best they could, but were also suffering from economic crisis as well. Now my dad is in wheelchair and stays in a government run nursing home because he couldn’t get the proper healthcare that he needed at the time. My mother works as hard as ANY AMERICAN and cannot afford to watch my father. My father was a hardworking man who fell on troubled times and bad circumstances, and his country failed to help him when he needed it most. My mother barely can afford her healthcare and is sick from all the worrying she does.

Don’t tell me that it’s not your fault. Don’t tell me that it’s not your job to provide for others. How can you live with yourself and at the same time deny people the right to stay healthy? I’m not trying to force my story on you, but my God, where is your humanity? What is this fear of something being taken from you? Thank god I’m not sick or else I would be terrified! I myself at 21 can barely afford to buy healthcare being in college(which is also ridiculously expensive thanks to your party) and am actually still waiting to be approved after 6 months! How’s that for corrupt?
On a second note, this is “rant” is not meant to bring attention to MY family’s problems, but to illustrate a point. I can think of countless stories as bad or worse than mine, but I don’t have the room to post them. Just talk to people and you will see what I mean, or watch these videos if you are too “lazy” to inform yourself about your fellow man!

How can you say in good conscience that these people don’t deserve affordable healthcare! Not only that, but this videos also serve to show how corrupt the health insurance companies are, and the reconstruction they need.
To Jethro and all others- so what if I’m 21? I’ve watched my parents as well as many others work hard and suffer! And for the record, I DO NOT work a desk job, I am a waitress that busts her ass every day just to help pay the bills and aid my family. And who said that I don’t appreciate the sacrifices of the US soldiers? But are THEY being denied healthcare? Probably not in comparison to the rest of us! I don’t need to be older to understand what human beings need. As far as paying for college, well, tell me why everyone in Canada or the rest of the civilized world can afford school? Geee, I think EVERYONE in those countries wants to go to school…Hmmm, in fact, more of them are in school percentageise than the US! So what if we are a bigger country, we can accomadate! And as far as for the middleclass, you will not be taxed considerably because you don’t make enough money!!!Hello!
