the greedy drug companys after jumping through their paperwork told me
to sell my house so i could afford my prescriptions.

please do not give me this 'choice' party line.
there are no assets left other than the house. that is all that is left.
the 8 yr illinois workman's compensation legal nightmare ( soon to be 9
yr ) has taken everything else. since 26 nov 1996, date of the accident,
i have been able to work basically two years.

i have personal experience and over 30,000 legal documents which clearly
show that the american legal system and the medical establishment are
broken beyond repair. they both need to be dismantled, actually i would
prefer torn asunder, then replaced by systems which actually work.

i am sorry i am not a politician but i will shout from the hightest
mountain top if i had to to tell the american public that the greedy
drug companys are not just greedy but avaricious. they prey on personal
tragedy, pain and suffering. they have no desire to relieve any of that.
