Better screening at who gets the aid needs to be done. Yes some people have fallen on hard times and need the assistance for a few months. I don't want to see a family starve or not have a roof to live under.

I think alot of people who used to have good jobs have lost them, and yes, they still have the nice cars (and yes, the insurance hopefully) and the nice houses that went with having that money - but they need help to eat if they have families and kids.

Should they sell the car and buy a used beater, use the difference for food? Possibly, but I'm sure they just want help until they are employed again. Most charity places don't ask questions, but I can't imagine that people that don't need the help, and can afford all the groceries they want, are abusing it to walk in there to get free cans of soup and boxes of macaroni and cheese.

You don't care so much that you need a new signature to tell people you don't care.

Contrary to what you and jms62 and whomever else believes I never whined to get the IQ poll taken down. I was enjoying the response's on it. I would be willing to take a lie detector test to prove I didn't whine to anyone about it.

Good idea. Let's get a lie detector set up for this real important matter.

Question answered. Definitely lower.

In your area people might not be abusing it. Here where im at there is no doubt people are abusing it.

Your "I've got mine (from your tax dollars), so f*ck you (and be sure not to touch my tax dollars)" schtick would be laughable if it weren't so goddamn pathetic.

*with the disclaimer that I am not actually against any of these things, but Nascar's logic (if you could even call it that), means that he shouldn't get any of the things he so cherishes, because people who won't ever be using them are the ones paying for them.
Just for info I don't use the VA for medical needs. I use regular doctors just like you do.

Congrats on your family's military history. Hope your son is staying warm in Great Lakes.
This time of the year it is pretty cold there.

Company insurance plan comes up for renewal in April. Cost went up over $2000 for 3 employees that are covered under the plan. One employee has 3 children on it with 1 child with a pre-existing condition.

We're going to be shopping for something else, but Anthem and one other company won't quote any prices until after sign up.

Like the credit card companies that tried to financially gouge their customers in the months before the credit card protection restrictions kicked in. Let them tell you they no longer offer coverage for children, too.

"Won't quote prices until after sign up" - and people say no regulation is needed of this industry? Believe me, they would hold you to the price contract - as they freely disregard theirs, and indulge in rescission for the child with a pre-existing condition exclusion.

This is the folly of our nation: having what we receive as healthcare determined by those that make more money by not giving us healthcare.

We need to screw all this stuff and just go to single payer. Let everyone in the country buy the same insurance, of the same quality, Federal employees have. No exclusions, no pre-existing conditions. Just one big pool, everyone gets great health insurance with modern coverage.

What a coincident your health insurance goes up around the same time Obamacare is approvd.
