Carl and his fight to stay alive despite the horrible chronic CH he has faced the last 3 years. He is angry about the treatment he has received from the government. I am angry about this. We should all be angry that any individual is denied his legal right to help through loopholes and mean-spirited officials and clerks who seem to delight in saying no when their job is to say yes.
It has nothing to do with race or creed. It is red tape that should not even exist but seems to become more strangling with every passing day.
IMHO opinion it is time to write letters to congressmen and to the media to expose the evil that goes on, the mistreatment of some who have fallen upon bad times and need support. Carl's is just one of thousands of cases that is mishandled and delayed. As I have repeated so many times - CH is an emergency - not a condition that will wait months for a doctor appointment or approval of money for needed medication.
Let's make our needs known for goodness sake!
