Hello,

I am back again. I just posted a new editorial at Ezine Articles.com because I think singles should be concerned about politics as well as those with people who have families.

I am grateful that all sides of the health care debate are being explored. I was worried for awhile that congress was going to make a rash decision regarding this matter. I am now very much glad they are not. "We the People" cannot slow down.

Congress may be taking a break but we need to continue our work. America is not America without us! The people!

We need to keep jamming their mailboxes full of relevant, intelligent cases regardless of what point of view we support-either for or against nationalized health care. I guess one of the latest concerns since this past Tuesday has been regarding whether or not Congress was going to "require" assisted deaths for senior citizens. This may very well never happen, but it is one issue that still needed to be addressed nonetheless.

Of course, I already spoke more than once against unnecessary violence, vandalism, etc. But I hope that you all get my point whether you fully agree with me or not. Either way we do not want to lose our freedom. Once you lose something that precious it is very hard to get back.

I guess that's why I have been obsessed with blogging so much this week. Afraid that it could be taken away at some point. Hope not but it is always a fear in the back of my mind. I am very happy to see that our country is getting involved in this very important matter, though.

Note: Apart from getting "Knocked Up" (at least in most cases) this article can apply to a man as well.

I believe in a hand up to be able to make a better life for myself. I also believe that there is no substitute for hard work when it comes to achieving financial stability.

However, I have often felt as though every time I try to get help I just fall through the cracks. Yes, I can receive financial aid to go to back to college and so on and so forth, and probably will do so soon.

Not Getting "Knocked Up" Should be Rewarded

However, I often have felt overlooked being a single woman with no kids. Worse yet, I have often felt penalized by the federal and state governments for being responsible and not having a child.

It seems far easier for women who have children to receive help than it is for a low-income single woman who does not have a child. I do not think that is right at all.

Although I am conflicted about the government being too involved in my business, I think that I should be able to receive some type of medical assistance even if I am not considered disabled.

I think that women-and men also-who are hard workers should at least be able to receive some type of medical assistance. At the very least they should be able to go to the doctor and receive check-ups and not have to wait until they have a medical emergency.

Prevention is Better and Less Expensive

Regarding receiving some type of medical assistance for regular checkups, I think it would save the government plenty of dollars in the long run. The government would be less likely to have to fork out money in the event someone becomes incapacitated as a result of a medical emergency.

I think more singles should be concerned about this. I don't think the government should do everything for us, but I do think that they we should receive a hand up such as medical insurance, say if we work consistently 30 hours a week for a given amount of time.
