Hard worker lost wind

I worked in construction for many years and smoked the whole time. I eventually went back to school to get out of construction and learn about computers. I ended up with a BS degree but now can't find a job. I also am unable to go back into construction because I am not physically able to. The state tells me that I have to be certified by social security as disabled to get any help with prescription drugs. If one is disabled they won't let them work. Although I am disabled, I think that I can still work doing IT. I don't think that the government should make it so that you can't work just so that you can get help with medicine. There are different degrees of disability and as long as somebody can still work they should be able to. Unfortunately, they think that unless people are totally disabled they don't have to buy medicine. What about people that are just out of work that need medicine. I know that if I don't get my lung medicine that my bronchial tubes will close up and my condition will get to the point that I won't be able to work and will be disabled so that I can be certified disable by the Social Security Administration. Why does the government encourage people not to work and why do they let people suffer? How are people to get 400 a month to pay for lung medicine?
Now I am about to go homeless because I can't pay my rent. Do you suppose pneumonia will heal me. I guess that is what the government is trying to do - kill all of the people that it possibly can who cost it money. That way they have more to give to contractors and bankers. I think it is time that we as Americans do something to stop these people that are looting the money away from Social Security and putting it into their own pockets. I hope that there will be a solution to my medicine problem, and hope even more that there will be a solution for the millions that are dying and going without care and medication in the United States.
