I am not sure but isn't there places in CA that provide food to those less able to provide for themselves. I also think some drug companies have discount programs to help the truly poor afford their medicines. I stated in another post, that I don't understand why if your on Medicaid you have no co-pay but if you are on Social Security Disability due to on the job injury you have a 20% co-pay and it doesn't cover hearing or dental unlike Medicaid. I go without medicine also but I would scrap up the money to afford life saving prescription's.

@MarkF I have no idea....I'm Canadian. She was an online friend.

@Lilac-Jade Well even in Canada don't you have local groups like church's, who help out the poor and disabled with food donations?

@MarkF We don't have the issues here that my friend did in California, & she is the one I'm talking about.

@MarkF, i think you don't understand: @Lilac-Jade is canadian, her online friend was us-american, so her knowledge about the medical system & soup kitchens in the us of a is limited.
