11. Related to that point (and thanks for reminding me)
Edited on Sun Aug-23-09 03:22 PM by dem629
I'm on SS disability and of course Medicare.

Prior to getting approved, they helped me out beyond what many families would/could do.

However, they of course couldn't do that forever, so when I was approved for disability, they ended up saving a lot of money that I know they would have spent on helping me out (including medical care).

And NOW...they're out there protesting the same gov't that assists me and the same type of gov't program that relieved them of the burden of helping me.

If you can make sense of their position, I'd love to hear it. :)

(PS- my position on the current health care discussion is: Medicare for all.)
