Well, I get SSI...a whopping $603 a month. Yay, me...not. Anyways, I'm not eligible for Medicaid so I am on welfare. I get some meds free...as the pharmacist explained it...if it's for your head or your heart there is no co-payment. Everything else has a small co-payment. But if you get something prescribed that you can get over the counter...like Zantac at an extremely high dosage...you have to get Zantac at a lower dosage. It really does suck. Anyways, I have food stamps, too. But ya know what? I can still barely make ends meet!

This month has been my best month, actually. I'm only overdrawn in the bank by $50-$75...no thanks to bank charges. Otherwise I'd only be overdrawn $10. Anyways, yeah it sucks.

Some places are covered by welfare, and some are not. I can't get free eyecare. There's a co-pay every time I go see an approved family doctor...that's only if they are approved, too...otherwise I pay the full amount. And then I have to find a dentist that's covered through welfare...which sucks since the doctors under welfare aren't very good at all. In the last county I was in I refused to see the dentist...the only dentist under welfare in the county. He had so many cases against him...he let an abcess go on someone and they died from it...so no...I refused to go to him! So what did I do? I paid full price for a better doctor.

It pretty much sucks, if you ask me.
