I just had an eye infection. Because of my financial situation I can't go to a regular doctor because he/she demands money up front. Instead, I had to go to the ER. Even after the 50% discount the hospital gives to people with no insurance, I currently owe over $300 for that one visit. A regular doctor would have cost 1/2 that amount. Oh, and in case you're wondering how I can afford internet access.. 11 months ago, I had a little cash. I also had a creditor threatening to put a lien on my property and confiscate the contents of my bank account, so I paid my ISP $1000 to keep my internet access/telephone service going for a year. I could have possibly gotten part of my money back from my ISP, but I wouldn't have the internet access to tell you my sad story or to try to look for work. And there are many reasons why poor people are fat, including eating unhealthy food because it is cheaper than healthy food, depression that leads to overweight issues and inability to keep to a regular exercise schedule, which in turn leads to diabetes, which can make things worse, including, eventually loss of your feet so you can't exercise or work anyway.
