Pay for your terminal illness across the globe

What the Hell is going on, across this world today
People paying for terminal illness, leaves me in dismay
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a terrible disease
It simply just attacks folk, takes away all their ease

Yet it seems in major countries right across the globe
Folk are paying for treatment, this surely needs a probe
Whatever happened to any man reaching out his hand
To help someone in dire need, as god surely had planned

This is currently incurable, there’s no treatment to be rid
People don’t deliberately catch this; it’s true, God forbid
So how come educated countries much like even the USA
And many others too are leaving their dying folk in dismay

Forcing men and women to pay dearly for any medical help
Politicians don’t give a damn how a single one may yelp
Countries rulers too tight fisted with their nations cash
Simply treating their ill people as if they were the trash

God never intended that no one, should not have a brother
That no nation or country, turn its back on any single other
So how come dying folk through no fault of their own
Have their nations leaders turn their back and disown

They boast yes we are here we were voted by our nation
But any one who’s dying can pay for the devastation
There is no moral can be learned other than to say
To every global politician, just wait until judgement day

Get your acts together politicians every country and nation
Help any family freely when one suffers such devastation
For Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is just too hard to defeat
“DO NOT” leave any family the cost or each life you will defeat

This is indeed wrong for any country or nation to force their sick terminally ill dying folk to pay for their own treatment, turning their back on each and all in effect
 
You said It Christopher.
What an extra burden is placed on the terminally ill patient in so called "civilized societies".
You would think we could take care of our own in the US

You never know my friend:smile:
 
Well I have 39 dollars in my checking and now that I am not working i will loose my insurance and have to be deemed disabled by government to get medicaid which all takes time and red tape. I have unpaid bills and letters saying I will have it go on my credit but local places can take it to small claims court. My kid has to see a doctor to comply with court and school because he took a friends anti depressant in school and passed out, and got charged with disorderly conduct. The other child got expelled. So now we have follow up appointments i do not know how the hell I am going to pay for so he does not go to actual juvenile court. All this and I am suppose to stay away from stressfull triggers because of emotional lability! The one thing I try to tell myself so i dont fall into a pity party for me is that in the olden days people were sick and still had to work and there was no healthcare without money and it wasn't good anyways....I would have been dead at 30 from gallbladder disease and people with disabilities would have died from inability to care for themselves......so i guess i look to the old uncivilized times to realize how lucky i am! Works sometimes.

I dont care if I have to hitch hike to Greeneville next month, I am doing that damn ALS walk because we need the research for a cure!:x
 
Anything we raise, or donate to charity, we need to stipulate our proceeds are not to pay peoples wages but to directly help those in need, or for research
 
Our Constitution declares only life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Health car is not a right. You have no more right to demand someone give of their life and time freely to you for your health than to ask a tire store to put new tires on your car for free. When you look at all the countries that have so called free health care, most are broke or are in bad financial trouble. They wind up with heath care that every one can get a piece of but that is not quality. That is why so many come the this country where pay for service weeds out most of the bad physicians.

You certainly do my friend when you come from, what is classed as a civilised and educated country, especially a one with countless more folk than the uk has, It just takes one voice to spread into billions
 
We will make sure Socialist will never take over our medical system and turn it into a crap hole.
 
hangingon1 what is your problem Because you are ill there are people a lot worse off than you, who still have hope and who are determined to find a cure or help or make others have hope, and then you come along thinking you’ve had enough of everyone else who is dying remaining hopeful and cheerful, determined to pull them down to your own level of depression.

Then because someone rightly puts you in your place and tries to get you all the help freely that each and every human being deserves when dying you resort to saying someone is a socialist

It is clear you are the type of person who assumes that cash will get you into heaven you need to lighten up rapidly if you really are ill, and simply do not comment to my posts ever again

Have you ever personally experienced any healthcare system outside of the US? If not you are in no position to speak. Don't believe all the spin fed to you by politicians and insurance lobbyists.

I get great treatment in Canada. Is it perfect? No. But from my experience it is certainly no worse than the US. The big difference is probably wait time for non-critical procedures.

My brother in law lives in Dallas. He has crohn's disease but has platinum insurance coverage. He has received terrible treatment. Unnecessary tests, inappropriate treatments. Although his hospital room always has a nice big screen tv and leather furniture. In Canada at best we get a 8" CRT tv.

My great aunt who lived in Long Beach CA went bankrupt trying to keep up with her health insurance premiums. Her neighbour died waiting for her HMO to make a decision as to whether she was eligible for a life saving treatment. This would not have happened in Canada - although there have been rare cases of people passing away while waiting for treatment here.

Thanks Richard!
 
Whenever we've needed care for serious health issues here we've had the best of care. And quickly. Same for doctors visits, etc. Like Richard said, there is sometimes a wait for non critical procedures. Sometimes frustrating but again, it's non-critical!

So what you are saying effectively is its tough on everyone in the globe who cannot afford to pay for their treatment of an illness that they never asked for, As yiu say in your profile "Sticking it to ALS and living as long as possible" this does not mean you can give every one else suffering the finger.

Do you not read the posts on here, or are you like the other fellow, and only want to attack people determined to help fight this damn disease, there are numerous countless posts from folk who are in the USA as other countries who are struggling very badly and asking people for opinions and ideas , begging for help, that gives me every god damn given right to say they should each and all not be paying for an illness which no one in the globe asks for, an illness that will take their lives, hence the idea of this forum, to help each other

Are you telling each and every one to simply shut up and die, because it certainly sounds like it, have you any decency about you at all because it certainly does not sound as if you have any

Because you yourself may be dying it does not give you any right to be cruel to others in the same boat any where in the world


As posted in another forum earlier today

Terminal Illness does not give us the right to have a go at others

Because you are ill you need to remember there are people a lot worse off than you, who still have hope and who are determined to find a cure or help or make others have hope, do not even attempt pull them down to your own level of depression, this is not what terminal illness is about

They say it’s like finding out you have cancer, they reason that there are three ways you will go, one is to live life to the full, the second is to live life normally as if nothing was wrong, the third is to let the news get you down, and once you are down you stay down and sadly live a last a lot less time


Terminal illness is about helping folk in the same situation to know what is coming their way and advise them how you maybe managed or what you did

It is not about having a go at others, by far worse off, yet with a more cheerful out look than you

Why are you turning this into a personal battle, this has got nothing to do with politics the same as above applies to you, you clearly assume because you are dying that everyone else with this disease should die too

God have mercy on your angry ways
