24 Hr Emergency DentistThe Other America

Recently, an agency News Network, chose to warm our hearts with a new series "the other America." The content is good. Throughout the series is supposed to be an example of the media " sensitivity. "In reality, this is an example of their elitism, blinded by everyday life, lack of understanding of what life for millions and millions of Americans. The series is as enigmatic for the people, is that profiling is the fate of the majority of Americans, 99.9% of all politicians. "The Other America" being reported is America! The media politicians, and most of the upper-middle class in America are ... really ... America "Other". The only class that is growing in the U.S. longer, is the "poor .



There is overwhelming consensus in the "happiest" in America, that welfare recipients are the representation of poverty. Hogwash. People on welfare programs receive cash grants, food stamps, and some of the best health care available. This is not because they can not have a car ... does not make the "poor"! In most areas also get bus passes. They are eligible for subsidized housing because they have a reliable salary with a constant amount each month, and ... they wear a lot of TV!



In the end, there was some exposure, not good enough, because there is an America, a very, very American, which is encased in a generation to the other income that is too high money from government assistance programs, but not enough for what people in this network, used by government agencies, and that the Agency News take for granted everyday. Parents and children in these families did not go to the dentist ... they eat handfuls of aspirin and slipping a tube of Ora-Gel to the pharmacy. In an extreme situation, they go to a hospital emergency room and wait 4 ... 6 ... 8 ... 20 hours, using the ER as "clinic" to get their temperature taken and a prescription for an antibiotic. They can not receive antibiotics, though. They go home and must make an appointment qualification program to be deemed medically indigent. This appointment is usually 3 to 14 days away. When they could get this done, they feel well enough to waive the hearing and expect yet another place. Or ... Now they are so sick they have to return to the ER and now they are sorted and ER administers the medication they needed two or three weeks. Sometimes ... They are dying! No medication lost, eh? This class works ... put in a week that should help, but do not work. They do not go to the Food Bank, there will they take documents. So ... they really eat a diet full of beans, potatoes, eggs and baked goods. But they did not ask for alms. Why should they, most of them have a job? As life progresses, they are overweight, often from hypertension and diabetes, and not knowing that is why they often feel so lousy. For leisure most of them is to beer. Watching sports on television and did not go to the park admission fees. In summer, if they are lucky enough that there is still no charges, they go to the river or lake to cool entertainment. If they live in a city, they have usually just a backyard barbecue and a pool, a slip-N-Slide, or a water hose and sprinkler. What is air conditioning? Can not afford to pay the electric company, even if it has a fan ... prevents them from being overcome by heat stroke, sometimes. They are accustomed to this kind of thing, though. They may wish it were different, but must learn not to live beyond their means. They have a pretty decent used car, but do not drive more than necessary because they can not afford to pay for insurance, and if they get pulled over, most places these days , their car will be impounded or confiscated. There is not much.
