thanosibe 02/14/18 9:42:30 AM #102:	gunplagirl posted... thanosibe posted... Is that not how it done now? If not, yes I think that's how it should work. I know that's how WIC was done when we used it and how our boys qualify for Medicaid now. Remember that "would you qualify to immigrate to America under Trump" multiple choice thing a few months ago? That's how they do it in most states, fill out the info, provide proof of income, and then you get the card not long after some beauracrat visually confirms the proof of income aspect. The "you need to reapply to keep enrolled" thing is automatic and has you generally get a phone call or mail, or both. It's expensive to run a panel that would review and determine how much you get, plus human biases, plus there's the whole "how would somebody with no money who gets told they don't qualify for much or any at all appeal" thing. The fact you think that's how it is done shows you havenhavent bothered to educate yourself on the matter, yet you can speak with such conviction on why it's a terrible system. Imagine that. It's amazing how much you project and can't reign in your emotional immaturity. I have to reapply for Medicad for my sons based on income. Any change in my income can change whether they can still have Medicad. The only reason it is not a problem with my job now, is I am salaried. At my last job, it was hourly and if at any point I made more pay than was allowed for Medicad, I would have to then reapply, the following pay period and even reschedule their doc's appts if I could not pay out of pocket. These steps are put in there for a reason. The fact that you think that there is a minimal amount of abuse in governemnt programs and that it's all the rich white conservative men in the world, beating down everyone else makes almost every conclusion you come to biased and many times untrue. Which is why you usually go for personal insults and attacks. Just last year, after two years of apply through mail in surveys, tests, and testimonials for my wife's diagnosed bi-polar and anxiety, we finally got to get in front of a judge for a hearing on getting disability for her. After the hearing, and being evaluated by the state appointed psychiatrist for application for disability, she was still denied disability. And while I am glad that people can't just walk in "I'm depressed" and get a check, it is disappointing we didn't get it. Because she has tried to work and it hasn't been good for her. And guess what? We can try and start the whole process over again, and even request a different judge. Because this is America and that is the freedom and right that we have. So maybe check you emotions and ignorance about others at the door, before you start spewing your usual bile and bias thank you. --- I think I need a drink.

SpiralDrift 02/14/18 6:55:19 PM #128:	My family was very poor when I was younger and relied on food stamps. It shames me to even think about it now. But it gave so little that we were always still hungry and often relied on churches, etc, to make up the difference. Even then there was always a period at the end of the month where we had nothing left and just had to deal with it. Snacks and soda were practically a delicacy. It wasn't something we had very often. Let me tell you how much it sucked. It sucked so bad that even though I'm poor enough to qualify for it right now, I fucking never would because I don't want to take the resources from a child that might be starving like I was. It still hurts to remember those times. Which is why I don't care as much about the limitations as I do that whatever they're given that it actually be enough. That's it. I know I would have been happy with healthy food because it's better than literally nothing. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. <cite>SpiralDrift posted [p:896094727] in I agree wi...
