And it’s shit like this that I don’t really think people understand. While you’re supporting the gutting of food stamps, medicaid, and other social programs, you’re legitimately committing people to die. 

One of the men I’ve known my entire life passed away this year because he had to choose between care for his heart issues and putting food on the table for his kids.

This isn’t a joke.

UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, PLEASE?

It is simply disgusting that the US STILL doesn’t have universal health care. Wake up… :|

when rick santorum claims that nobody in the united states dies because of a lack of health insurance…

I’m 26 years old. I’ve worked since I was 16. I have over $40,000.00 in student loan debt. I live with my brother. We only have health insurance because my mom pays for it. We only have a house to live in because my mom owns it. She only had money because our father died of brain cancer after being treated like a test subject for 18 months. I work full-time. I pay taxes. I am the 99% and I want change. RIP, Daddy.

And I’m one of the lucky ones…

21 year old college senior. Debt free thanks to working full time in the summer and had money saved up. Two part time jobs during school year. Parent’s insurance doesn’t cover prescription meds= unmedicated depression and anxiety. Applying to grad schools because I know there will be no jobs pertaining to my degree. Scared for the future. Scared for the present. 

I am the 99 percent!

I am here for everybody, or rather the 99% that have been taken advantage of for so many years.  Things are so much worse than 20 or even 30 years ago.  Everything goes up except wages and workers are expected to do so much more for less.

I am the 99%.

I Am a college Freshman scared I’m wasting my time on an education that won’t matter. 

I am the 99%

Mhm. What’s worse is that we are the lucky ones, because we have the ability to go to college.

All I want is to abolish employee employer relationships all together.

Though I understand the spirit of this fellow course.

I am a public school teacher.  I have 3 Master’s degrees and no student loan debt.  My parents paid for all of my education.

My wife is also a public school teacher: she has a Master’s degree … and more than $80,000 in student loan debt.

We are the 1%, and we are the 99%.  We are parents of two young girls: let’s make fairness, justice, and equality affordable for all.

And I am one of the lucky ones - I have loved ones in the position of helping me. So many do not.

My dad is unemployed due to disabilities obtained on the job.  He’s in need of health insurance but is NOT ELIGIBLE for Medicare because he could be covered on my mom’s health insurance. 

The problem is, if she adds him, she would OWE her job $$ each month and have no take home income.  The sole income upon which they rely. 

After 25+ years of happy marriage, my parents are considering DIVORCE just so he can be eligible for Medicare.

WE are the 99%.

This happens a lot—and is a real tragedy. Many people either divorce or decide not to marry because of how it would affect health insurance.
