That wasn't my friend Ray... I don't know who that was. He or she was found to be in the search once landed upon the page of reviews for the condition. I thought it ironic though when I found that.None of your words have true heartfelt meaning, because you keep trying to use a select few, and the mismanagement of their cases to justify not doing right by anyone. This is the tactic used, but people who are legitimate cases, are not to be grouped in with your stereotypical ideas of why nothing should be done to help fix a problem in society. I was researching a possible symptom that a friend asked me to look up for them, and while I was looking I saw this by a person seeking advice also -King James version of the Bible says -
1. Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6Ye have condemnedand killed the just; andhe doth not resist you.
Is this a good identifier that outlines some of the ways of man ?
Apples and oranges.
During biblical times, there were only the rich and the poor. There was no capitalism, middle-class nor were there any social programs.
In the past, liberals have (from time to time) used the phrase "A camel to pass through the eye of a needle" to try and make the same point as you. So I looked it up.
Turns out money is not evil at all. Where that quote came from was the belief that money separated man from God back in those days. Money was such an obsession that many focused on material things over heavenly things.
Fast forward to today, and one has to ask who takes better care of their poor than the USA? On average, our poor live in larger homes with more amenities than the average European worker.
So we feed our poor with so much food they grow overweight. We put them in HUD homes sometimes in the suburbs with working people. They get free education and medial care under Medicaid. They have more children because those children are not the liability of the parent(s) they are a liability to taxpayers. Hell, they even have cell phones. Wouldn't Jesus be proud of that???
In some studies, it was found that welfare pays better than a job. In NYC for example, a person on all welfare programs makes more in cash equivalent than a starting school teacher.
This is not to mention that we in the USA are the most generous country on earth. Besides our tax money going to foreign entities, private donations also feed the world.
But that's not enough I guess. Now we need free medical care and college, and people want to use the Bible to squeeze even more water out of that sponge.
"I have been having trouble digesting my food properly, I throw up usually within 15 minutes after I wake up and the contents of my vomit usually include undigested food from the day before. Usually meats and vegetables. I also have muscle weakness and weight loss, but I assumed that would be attributed to the digestion problems. I haven’t been able to see a doctor because I just started a new job and my insurance won’t kick in for another month a half.
I’m afraid to go to the free clinic and get diagnosed with something that I will have to disclose to the insurance company that would cause them to deny me coverage. Not sure what to do.
Thank you for the concern and the help though…
Is this one of you snakes typical bums you describe ?
So why didn't your friend go on Obama Care and have coverage????
