Hi, I at presently suffering from a problem that affects many americans. I'm on a disability, my wife is a asst. mgr. at a dollartree. We cosigned for a daughter to go too school, she defaulted on loan. Now the state takes 1/4 of my wifes income to pay for that, and they take alot of taxes. This leaves verily enough to pay for the storage shed were living in and lights. But the state goes by gross income, and knocked us off medical. I have several issues that require medication, the biggest being thyroid med and high blood pressure and colestorol meds. I've been told there is no real help out there. If I don't take this one pill I go into a situation called mydexima, lapse into a coma and die. I see all these people that die in the obits from natural causes, probablly not being able to afford meds. If I have to die anyway because I can't afford to live, if I die as a martyr for healthcare reform in this country, and put a face on death by offering a live feed so people can watch me die. Since its going to happen anyway, does God hate you for giving your life this way?

Without addressing your problems, or agreeing with your position: Not taking medicine, or undergoing 'corrective' surgery, that would prolong your life: IS NOT the same thing as suicide. Which is the gist of your question. Of course, this is only IMHO.....

Please do not take your life. Please go back to Senior and Peoples with Disability and explain your situation.  There is a better way than simply giving up.

I have long wondered exactly how many people die because of excessive taxation.  Sort of puts all that "it's for your own good" excuse into perspective; doesn't it?

Wish I had a good response to your problem that would set things to right, but I thank you for not taking all this in silence.  Your situation should be known and held up for all to see.
