We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

I am a 38 year old divorced woman working part-time with no medical insurance.  I dropped my $10,000 deductible government policy last year because it didn’t seem to make sense to continue paying premiums for something I couldn’t afford to use.  I have a 20-year history of minor & major depressions and recently diagnosed myself with diabetes while treating my cat for it.  I last saw a doctor & my dentist in 2008. My younger brother committed suicide at age 28, due in part to the lack of appropriate medical care & insurance. We are both part of the 99% & we are not alone. www.OccupyWallSt.org
