Before I went into college in the early 90’s I worked for

a government program that went into elderly and handicapped peoples home and helped them with everyday

living skills that they could not attend to themselves.

That program ceased within 3 years. I then worked for a hospital with a chemical dependency treatment program that almost anyone could attend if they needed help.-There were

3 places to receive treatment at in my town then-Now there

are none.

I think that there are alot of people now on programs that dont need it (medicaid ) but it makes it bad for the people that really do.

I beleive that there has to be something done by the government because we have too many people without healthcare now that cant afford it. The people with a lot of money or no money are the ones that get help.

The middle-working class, who actually work for a living and

are willing to, are the ones suffering the most.

Health and human service workers can take a stand and help elect people into government positions who are willing

to help the people who are left out. The working poor.
