A distraught woman took to social media to vent about an issue that middle-class Americans know all too well.
“This mother makes $60,000 but can’t afford her daughter’s medical procedure. However. If she were to downgrade her job and salary, she would qualify for government medical assistance for her daughter. What’s even more messed up is that she’s from Denver, where every migrant gets free healthcare. Make it make sense!” the caption on the video reads.

“I feel like only in America can you need medical assistance that you can’t afford to get, and in order to get government help, you have to make under a certain amount,” she says.
“So if you’re someone who like, makes $60,000 a year,” she gestured at herself, “you don’t qualify for any f**king help, but you can’t actually afford to get your child the services that they f**king need.”
“But if I quit my job and go work for McDonald’s, I can live off the government and then she can have the help that she needs? Make it make sense!” she shouts emotionally.
Social media commentary sympathized with the mother, who finds herself in an impossible situation:
You get penalized for working when you are a single mom. It’s always been that way. They won’t help you if you work.

Making $60,000 is not enough to take care of a family in today’s economy!
These migrants are being treated better then our hardworking citizens!— josette caruso (@josettecaruso) September 9, 2024
I don’t understand, Democrats have provided all Americans the Affordable Care Act aka Obama Care that allows everyone to have Affordable health care.
This is anything except Affordable, it’s yet another failed Democratic failed policy at the cost of American taxpayers.

They want you to be poor so that you must rely on the government.
It’s really as simple as that.
Make the prices of things so exorbitantly high and then allow the government to step in with assistance but only if you are poor enough.
This incentivizes you to make less money…

Welcome to the middle class. By design in the US, the rich can afford what they want, the poor get benefits for what they need, and you get nothing but a growing tax bill.

Rather than our Representatives working to better things like health insurance coverage, it seems they are working to make coverage worse to force us all into single payer health coverage – where the govt decides what we can and what we cannot have.
The government wants to get…

$60,000 with a kid. Not in this Kamala economy. Wait unit she raises taxes. Government assistance health care doesn’t cover very much anyway. I am on it. It’s a joke really.

The welfare system will make you poor, and keep you poor.
Once in the system, there is virtually no way out as one reaches poverty level income, their benefits are eliminated.
Instead of a path forward for illegal immigrants, there needs to be a path forward for working poor.
