The next time you hear some media talking head saying they don't know what the message of OWS really is, I'd say that this one member of Occupy San Francisco says it quite well:

Miran Istina, 18, joined protests after four years of being denied life-saving bone marrow transplant for leukaemia

I'm happy to call corporations people, they just happen to be deeply sociopathic ones.

Also, many states offer assistance to only the poorest families. The max yearly income you can have and still be eligible for for MediCal is somewhere around 35K. And yeah, I know that from personal experience. Istina is identified as being solidly middle class, so if her family's yearly income was 40K or over, chances are they would not be eligible for most assistance programs.
