In Aug. of 2005 I was forced to retire from my Certified Nursing Asst. (CNA) job. While waiting for my Social Security Disability to be approved, I was eligible for State Medicaid Asst. As soon as I got my SSD, I was no longer eligible for State Asst. and I have to wait until May of 2008 to become eligible for Medicare. I have several prescriptions, but one in particular cost me $140.00, each month !! I feel our Government needs to make major changes in our Healthcare for people like me who have worked and paid taxes all my adult life, sometimes working two jobs at once. I have to pay my family doctor cash, but I have not seen my Polio doctor in one year because I don't have the money.(He costs lots of money) I wear a brace on my right leg and I have been having problems with my left leg also. I am so frustrated. And BROKE !!!!
