And So It Goes...........

I like many folks in my family have high blood pressure. At this stage in my life mine is uncontrollable by medication. I am currently on 3 very powerful hypertension drugs and just had a new one added just to bring the pressure down (215/100 at the dr.office). This morning I went to a clinic the doctor recommended for non insured folks. He set me up for an ultra sound of my kidneys (they control your blood pressure). After about 2 hours the technician says their specialist will interpret the data, but in her opinion, there was nothing wrong that she could see. So, if this proves to be true, I don't know what my option are at this point. I have heard of a MRA that looks at your veins and arteries and a life scan that does pretty much the same thing. I may have to look into either of those as my only alternative at this time is to sit around and wait for a stroke or heart attack. Here comes the rant. I have worked hard all my life. Due to none of my own fault, I have not had a job in 3+ years. As a result I don't have insurance. I have also been told by 8 companies that I am uninsurable. I understand that has changed since the @#%$#@^& Obamacare is kicking in. As if we could afford any insurance on our "extravagant income". All social services have told me/us is that we make too much money to qualify for any kind of services. Just because we have worked all our lives. Do you get the drift here? If you work all your life, pay your taxes, try to take care of your family , you cannot take advantage of those taxes you have involuntarily paid all those years. If I do have a stroke or live through a heart attack, there is no way my wife's income will pay for any of the bills to follow. So I have uncontrollable blood pressure, a totally worn out knee that has resulted in a crappy other knee, a jacked up back and a tilted pelvis. I have been turned down for disability, I have been turned down by Social Security, medicair, medicaid, insurance and hundreds of would be employers So unless we hit a jackpot I am well and truly screwed.
