this made me mad

The World of Harry Potter in Comic Form by Lucy Knisley

25 Lives

This man, James Verone, robbed a bank for one dollar.

Why only one dollar?

Because he knew that in prison he could get the medical care he could not afford with his part time salary as a convenience store clerk. He was approved for food stamps, but they did little to help his finances. Between his back problems, carpel tunnel, and arthritis, he simply couldn’t handle the pain any longer.

On June 9th, he sent a letter to his local paper, the Gaston Gazette, that stated: “When you receive this a bank robbery will have been committed by me. this robbery is being committed by me for one dollar. I am of sound mind but not so much sound body.”

He then took a cab to the RBC Bank, and handed the teller a note asking for one dollar and medical attention. He quietly took a seat in the lobby and waited for police to arrive.

Since Verone only stole one dollar, he was only charged with larceny. His bail, which he doesn’t plan to pay, is set at $2,000-reduced from the normal $100,000. He’s scheduled to see a doctor this Friday, and hopes to get foot surgery, back surgery and to have a protrusion on his check treated.   

To me, this is the perfect example of how disturbingly corrupt and unjust our health care system has become under HMO’s. For this man, or any person for that matter, to feel that he needs to be imprisoned just to see a doctor, is ridiculous. 

I honestly can’t even think of words. The story says it all.

Short poem

Hold me in your arms
And I will fly with you anywhere
Protect me from all harm
And lead me where I can gaze at your stare
Only you can set me aglow
And so I want you to be my superhero

Inspired by and for bemysuperhero a.k.a Denise whom I consider my twin, because of more than just one blatant reason. TC. :))

Awww, twin! :* I SRSLY LOVE THIS. Take care! >:D<
