My brother suffered from severe depression since he was a child. He told me every day was a struggle to live. He lost his good paying job in the 2008 market and bank crash. He had to take a menial job to make ends meet; however could not afford medical insurance until last year when he obtained Obama Care. He went to a psychiatrist, they performed a DNA swab test and found out why previous medications did not work. Subsequently, they prescribed 2 medications that worked for the first time in his life. He said he does not have suicidal thoughts anymore. It is the first time since 2008 he can afford to see a doctor.
It's interesting how the government will bail out the risky banks who gamble with our money, but the new government in place does not want to help children, elderly, and the sick obtain medical. They want to cut it so they can reduce the taxes of the rich. Enough is enough.
