After you posted Your comment about cuts to the "Foundation" , I went and read 4 or 5 articles including the above.. BEFORE I ask my question. Why can it not be funded thru States and Private funding..as well as Corporate Funding.. Everyone wants the Feds to pay for Everything.. that is how we got in this mess. Every 100 pennies is a dollar... .0001% adds up eventually to Trillions.
PRC: 0.00014% of proposed budget. Or, 0.15% of what the border wall will cost. Fuck those less fortunate eh?
Let's see. Border security a constitutionally mandated function of the federal government. Federally funded benefits for (insert recipient here) not authorized by the enumerated powers in the constitution. Like I said...nobody wants their ox gored.
My friend in NV knows all about the choice program, etc. I appreciate you posting the information though. Maybe it will help someone. I would also gladly PM you their cell number and maybe you can help them. I've exhausted all resources known to me personally but I am also not a vet. I even loaned them (gave because I know they won't be able to repay me) $4300 so they wouldn't be evicted from their home (they have 2 kids too). Their medical costs are burying them.
Huh? The ACA was just supposed to promote an insurance market place and drive costs down which it failed to do. There were no special programs targeting specific conditions such as paralysis, cerebral palsy, MS, or ALS.
Those aren't health issues? They're not the pre existing conditions that you can now get cheap healthcare to cover?
This thread is getting off Muller Topic... start an "I'm pissed of at the lack of Federal Funding for All Kinds of Shit..
Pre-existing conditions are covered but not exclusive to any one issue. Just because you have a pre-existing condition doesn't mean the cost is cheap. The only people who get cheap coverage under the ACA are low income people regardless of their health status. You go into the marketplace, input your data and based on income you either get no subsidy or a subsidy scaled upon your income.
I'm selfish? If I'm not mistaken, I'm the one paying the freight. Only time my hand is out is when the government is taking money out of it.
Yup, probably was better off not coming in here. To think my very first comment back on page 3 wasn't really all that controversial. After reading all of the comments thus far I am saddened by many of the posters disregard for humanity, decency, ethics, etc. And many on this board wonder why social norms seem to be sliding into abyss.
