I swear, in the almost 32 years I've been a quad, it has never been so hard to 
get help and it has never cost me so much out of pocket since I worked. I 
watched Bush say children have always been able to go to the ER for treatment 
and there shouldn't be federal funding to guarentee health care for children. 
Along with his budget cuts in health care, he has been removing the safety nets 
put in place under Johnson and Nixon. America now ranks 41 in health care among 
industrialized nations. Yet America spends more healthcare dollars than the top 
20 nations combined. Ohyea, I forgot we have those people selling health 
insurance that need to be supported. The CEO of blue cross still doesn't have 
enough private jets to get his dog to the vet for breakfast.

Subject: [QUAD-L] mattresses


Yes, I guess it is pretty much the same in all states. I just found this out, I 
have to have stage 4 with gaping wounds before I can get a lateral rotating 
mattress. Right now I have a KCI Bed, donated to me from a friend who passed 
away. Last March it bottomed me out & we cannot get it to stay inflated, I 
think I need 6 cushions replaced. I really miss the lateral rotation. Since 
Medicaid or Medicare didn't buy the bed they won't fix the bed! So this is 
where I'm at now. I had a little help from United Way last April but you would 
not believe the hoops that I had to jump thru! It is sickening!
