I'm not asking for free coverage for the rest of my life. I'm asking for a little more help while i need it. $113 a month for pretty much nothing is worthless...especially when you arent making that $113 a month. When i get a job and am on my feet, I'll be more than glad to pay for my own coverage. But until then, I believe that people like myself who are in teh situations like I am, should get help from our government.
I agree that people needing help to get on their feet should be helped. But what about those people who do not go looking for jobs, who stay at home and find that they can make as much doing nothing collecting welfare than they would make working for minimum wage and decide they would rather not work?
