Once health insurance is affordable we will no longer be chained to the cubicles of corporate America. <br /><br />There are so many people who have been forced into signing up for disability because they got sick and couldn't get better. <br /><br />They lost their jobs and couldn't get another one. Too sick to work, too poor to afford insurance - what else can they do? Sign up for SSI - to get Passport medical insurance.<br /><br />That was it.
