I Am Worried About My Health

I have had this since birth or early childhood but not diagnosed until age 47. I have lost 20% of my bone density and have seven compressed disks in my spine. It is very painful and often prevents mobility at all. There are no medications covered for the severity of my condition available and rents prevent me from proper diet or purchasing medications for myself.

This is the exact reason we need single payer so you would be covered.
Other countries might be able to help though...

@Whiterosesociety I live in Canada under the "so-called" free healthcare system. The ponly help I get is a parade of different social workers who can afford mortgages and car payments while I can only afford shelter temporarily. Government will not do it. The help will only come privately or not at all. Relying on government only creates more useless government positions for the people who do not need help. There are some simple things that could help: I must not have opium/heroin based medications for pain and inflammation as it is not worth the relief when it aggravates the condition, generally causes the condition. Even synthetic versions do this. My practitioner checked my research and agrees that over-all, marijuana is by far the best medication for the over-all condition and symptoms with far less harmful side effects than any of the other medications. But it is very expensive out of pocket. The hospitals and pharmacies don't carry anything that I can use. Healthy food, particularly dairy I also need and someone to keep me going for walks. It is far too dangerous with my condition to be walking alone in this neighbourhood. But nobody will help me with even these simple things.

@Anonymartyr dairy makes everything more painful for me.
In Colorado there's a very humane and affordable medical 420 program.

In OK here you can die trying to get pain free for one minute

Sounds a lot like CA.

Acupuncture??

Pump?
