No health care, but she has faith

by Lauren Vlot—Pennsylvania

I spoke with an older woman who answered the door. She sympathized with us, saying she did not have health care. She was hit by a car and spent four months in a coma suffering brain damage, yet she is quite functional. She takes a very strong medication that gives her the shakes and costs $220.00. She became teary-eyed, and so did I, as she stated she only makes $1,000.00 a month on social security, so her son helps her, and tells her she is his rock. She then told me everything will work out because she has faith. She is a truly memorable person.
