Maybe we can get Obama to pitch in some stimulus money and we know that won't happen. I'm leaving on Wed for 30 days otherwise I'd head this up.

They have been discussing health care for over 35 years now, If the two branches of GOV would work together instead of constantly bickering and trying to make each other out as the bad guys they might get something done.

The bills were stacking up fast so I went to the finance department at the hospital and talked to them. They were able to help reduce the bills by about 60% since I was paying for them myself. Then they referred me to a county fund through our local fire department they were able to help with about 75% of the remaining 40% that was still due to the hospital. I was able to make payments on the remaining balance to the hospital for a year. Dick you might want to contact the hospital and talk to them about not having insurance and being unemployed, I'm sure they will be able to help.
