You have described the problem but the ONLY fix it is to get some

That's part of the "fix" but most people take personal responsibility if

making minimum wage or have medical problems.


If you are making double the minimum wage, you are still eligible for
Medicaid.

Wow... that means you're rich and have no problem supporting yourself,
because the min. wage is a true living wage. NOT
