Dear Moby, I try to catch your Small Town Soap Box whenever I can, though sometimes I miss it when I get busy at work. Though the years you have inspired me to write my own little rant about a sore subject for me. I'm a 23 year old white male. I work hard to support the ones I love. I pay bills like every other hard working American, and I’m very proud of the things I have worked for and the work that I do. There are so many out there who work hard everyday, only to support the ones who are perfectly able to work, but are simply to lazy to get off their fat butts and look for a job. Instead they rely on the government to pay the way, getting food stamps low income housing and MEDICAID. I'm 23 years old and a hard working cancer patient who may very soon need a bone marrow transplant, but because I am not "legally disabled" I don't qualify for assistance. It sickens me to think that I work hard, and that my hard earned dollars go into a Medicaid fund for all these healthy individuals, illegal aliens, and teenagers who can't seem to keep it in their pants, just because they're all to sorry to get out in the world and at least look. Sure people are going to say, "there's no jobs out there", but that's complete BULL. McDonalds is always hiring someone to flip burgers or run the drive through. Because of these people, I can't have a procedure that I need to live. The sad part is, I'm not the only one, there is a boy not much younger than me, with the same problem, but he needs his operation now. I can only pray that God looks after him and helps him through this hard time. Thank you very much for allowing me to vent a little. -- Sincerely, Bradley Hewell Commerce, Ga.

Re: Bradley Hewell
Although I am disabled myself, I agree wholeheartedly with the comments made by this gentleman. My wife currently needs surgery to correct a medical condition that strikes women nine times more often than men, and she has not worked in over a year, but, according to SSA law, she is not disabled enough to qualify for disability or Medicaid. Parenthetically, she has also had cancer twice: once, breast cancer, with a partial mastectomy, and throat cancer. What is this world coming to when an alcoholic can get certified disabled, draw Social Security disability, along with the resulting Medicare and Medicaid, and tohers very well qualified to receive this help cannot get it?
