I am just a woman who works every day, who was ill and unable to work for over a year and a half, and am now trying to pay off medical bills, and still keep current with all the utilities, car payment etc. I had to use my credit cards to the max to pay some doctors or get sued. I have very good insurance but it did not cover all expenses added to the normal living expenses. I had a good case against the doctor for mal-practice but it seems in a small place everyone is good friends with each other and would not take the case. Then another attorney stated I had a case against the first attorney as he kept my files for 5 months and did nothing, then sent them back stating no way, but during the time he had my files the time had lasped so I am out in the cold on that one. I am listing to what both sides say and to me who cares what they said years ago, this is 2008 and one should make their decision on the person and not bring up things that at this time means nothing and there is nothing anyone can do about the old stuff. Get real. Live on my salary for a year and then see how they do paying ALL their bills on one pay check. Past presidents need to live off social security, we do not need to pay for secret service men/women to still guard them. If they invested wisely they would be well off. Just thoughts of what the real, REAL, world is like for a majority of the citizens.
