He gets $465 a month social security disability payments. His medical care is mostly covered, but not things like catheters which he has to pay for and needs everyday. He lives in a low income appartment and pays $265 a month and that includes utilitys except phone and tv . He works 4 hours a day , the longest he can because if he stays on his but longer than that he gets big holes in his but that could kill him. With his $465 a month and what he makes cleaning jewelry he makes under a 1000 a month. With his rent and medical supplies the goverment will not pay for he spends about $550 that leaves him about $450 a month to eat on and pay his cab bills back and forth to work . If anybody thinks living on disability is a picknick you should look at people like my brother .
You stupid bastards.

I sympathize with your brothers plight, and suggest that he contact some of the charitable organizations in his community. Some will provide free food, others will cover medical supplies, not covered by medicare.
How do you think a National Health Care Program should help your brother, and others like him.
