our platform has become a joke when examined under the microscope of reality.
this is really a sad thing for me. countless hours of volunteering, raising money, supporting candidates, doing gotv work, block walking...and for what?
from ap:
WASHINGTON — Senior House Democrats drafting health care legislation are considering slapping an unspecified financial penalty on anyone who refuses to purchase affordable health insurance, a key committee chairman said Monday.
who defines "affordable"? my partner and i live on disability and retirement income. we have significant financial responsibilities that were incurred prior to disability/retirement. will those be taken into consideration? if any other "social programs'" requirements are taken into account, the answer is NO.
fyi ~ in order to qualify for HIV/AIDS assistance under the "ryan white act", it is a requirement to disclose a partner's income. yeah, you'll know how much i make when i can enter into a civil marriage, receive the same benefits as heterosexual married couples and file a joint tax return.
