[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5220139, member: 58386"] WHEN did I ever say that a person who met the required number of paid quarters did not deserve to draw benefits? In fact I'm the one who wanted you to make for first application for SSD. What I pointed is the fact that for more than 60% of the people receiving benefits that monthly benefit represents 90% or more of their total income. The point I also made was that if 87 years ago Democrats didn't have the foresight and the courage to pass that bill what would life be like today for people in that position? What alternative would the GOP have to offer? To this day none of you have offered any alternative let alone a better one. Now just yesterday at 11:34 AM on this thread you clearly stated that you had been informed that you qualified for "assistance". Now if not Medicaid then just exactly who is the party providing the "assistance"? Is this another one of your so called "private hospital" stories only to finally have to admit that it's a NFP? But again I was simply stunned when I looked it up and discovered that of all states Florida the state with one of it not the highest population of aged residents TURNED DOWN the expanded Medicaid offer. In any given year the state would not have to bear anymore than 10% of the total cost. It would provide third party insurance coverage at basically zero cost for single persons earning up to about $18,000 a year. It you're above that 138% poverty threshold you go into the exchanges and buy insurance with premiums based on your income. Clearly the only reason DeSantos and his minions turned it down was because it was a Democrat initiative and they couldn't come up with anything better. On the other hand I am thankful that my state knew a good deal when it saw it and didn't care which party got the credit for it. [/QUOTE]
