Everyone is dealing with this terrible recession that is going on in the US. It affects homeowners, renters, single people and families alike. The government has been taking necessary steps to manage this recession by cutting taxes and expenses on programs. It also increased its spending to create new jobs for the unemployed and improve the crippled manufacturing and services sectors. Unfortunately, being ill during this time is not an easy thing to deal with, especially when the disease is Mesothelioma. The prognosis and survival rates are incredible poor and the research on treatments is sometimes lacking in funding, even more so in the time of recession.
