I read the article earlier and surprise, surprise, according to some of the comments...it's President Obama's fault or, "then she should have done better for herself", or, "why didn't someone help her apply at the pharmaceutical company her meds come from for free medication". Oi. There's this purposely oblivious reality that people live in that really troubles me.
I really and truly do fear what so many of our fellow citizens are becoming.
Why don't people help out their fellow human beings instead of blaming the victim for everything? I fear we have become even more judgemental since the internet allows us to make anonymous comments.
Sure, there are things she could have done. But she was already pretty busy; did she have time to hustle around the insurance companies? did she even know that was an option? Sad. She was working hard, like the conservatives say she should. But they failed to provide her with basic health care. Sucks.
