There IS a small amount of waste and fraud in Medicare/Medicaid and even Tricare, at least, but it happens from the practitioners, not the beneficiaries, and it's usually out of bad record keeping, not intentional malice.
For example, a doctor's office from my disabled sister's previous location has routinely charged her Tricare for a wheelchair, even though she hasn't lived in that area for a year and a half now. I bet they just never bother updating their patient list that they mail in to Tricare.
When I tried to report it to Tricare, I was told I wasn't authorized to speak on her behalf, and I ended up having to fax in my medical power of attorney. I never heard back that I was added as an authorized representative, and now I don't think I ever will hear back, at least not from this administration.
And in the meantime, like clockwork, every month there's a $50 charge from that doctor, on behalf of a group home that doesn't exist, and the doctor's office telephone number is disconnected.
So, Larry Krudlow is fluffing the Skum. No surprise. After ruining whatever brain he was born with using booze and blow, he found Gawd with the help of C John Mc Closkey, S.T.D., Opus Dei ideologue, rapey sex pest and converter of many odious republicans to fascist catholicism including Gingrich and Brownback. Birds of a feather prey together.
I guess when you're on faux "news" you can say any old outright lying clichés, and get head nods and brainwashed supporters agreeing. For the first time in 12 years my retirement social security automatic deposit was late last month. I am not at all sure I will receive any more. The invasion of MuskX into federal databases leaves me unsure as to whether I will even get my IRS refund. I live from one retirement income check to the next; my money wealth is non-existent. Sicko, hateful, extremely money wealthy, entitled, psychopaths like fpotus and MuskX, wil cause misery, injury, and kill off a lot of people; and they do not care at all. Not one bit.
Yes the checks will stop, but tell me how are people to live? Is that the intent for the old to die without their meds, people with disabilities die, children with handicaps die. Not everyone will have a family to move with or that can help them out. I’m totally amazed that we have let this go on as long as we have. What is wrong with us?????
You do realize when Social Security gets cut off, our Medicare healthcare will be gone too? Social security pays my Medicare bill Part A, my Medicare supplement and my prescription drug plan ALL out of MY contributions. I haven’t heard anyone say anything about that part of the disaster that’s coming. As far as them saying there will be no taxes on Social Security? The majority don’t make enough already to pay taxes on it today! Each day that comes closer to this happening (and it will, I’m certain) brings me closer to the end of my life. How can this be? I, like so many others, am medically fragile, widowed, and with no other source of income (after experiencing medical bankruptcy before Obamacare).
On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order drastically limiting public service workers’ ability to obtain student loan forgiveness. Under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, workers at government agencies and 501(c)(3) nonprofits are eligible for loan forgiveness after 10 years of service. But Trump's order threatens to strip that benefit—specifically targeting employees at organizations that support transgender rights or diversity initiatives. If enforced, the order could have sweeping consequences, cutting off loan relief for workers at countless nonprofits, civil rights organizations, hospitals, and schools across the country.
Organizations that would be barred from the order include what the order calls “subsidization of illegal activities, including illegal immigration, human smuggling, child trafficking, pervasive damage to public property, and disruption of the public order, which threaten the security and stability of the United States.” Further down in the order, this includes organizations that support “child abuse, including the chemical and surgical castration or mutilation of children or the trafficking of children to so-called transgender sanctuary States for purposes of emancipation from their lawful parents, in violation of applicable law” as well as organizations that are “engaging in a pattern of aiding and abetting illegal discrimination.”
This regime wants all LGBTQ people to disappear, die, not exist. This regime will facilitate killing off disabled, and the sick, and elderly people. This regime will harm the poor, children, and people with dark skin tones. This regime is a death cult. It is a monumental tragedy for most of us in the US.
I cared, and I tried to make as many people as I could care, but there's a sickness among white people in America that we weren't able to overcome this time.
The two biggest conmen on earth ...pointing out that someone is taking money from them .....is the biggest big red flag ever. The two over spenders of the taxpayers money is them .....Lumpy and his $3,000,000 golf games and Musk's private rocket fetishes have proven to be the biggest cons and grifting of history of the USA taxpayers money

I'm starting to think I waited too long to put in for it. I haven't even made my target age but I literally cannot wait that long. Filed nearly a month ago.
My husband is diabetic. Medicare is saving his life daily. I too need my Rx.
My life matters. If only to me. And I paid in when all the greedy billionaires paid so little.
If you're capable of using the Internet, you're not the topic of the conversation. It means you have a way to share your voice. Many elderly and disabled people don't even own a device capable of reading Wonkette, let alone know how to use the Internet.
I speak up for my disabled sister on matters of SSI because her Internet capabilities are quite limited (although not as limited as our oldest sister thought.)

The problem is that not enough White people cared that would be the likely outcome of failing to vote for MVP Harris

Tyrannosaurus Rump works very hard at exactly one thing: being a bigger asshole every day of his miserable life.

Even Steve Bannon thinks this is a bad idea.
"We’re just getting things done as opposed to writing a report. Like I say, reports don’t mean anything. You’ve got to actually take action."
So, the five bullet point bullshit was, um, what's the word for that, Charlie?

"Is it even fun to be a billionaire if you can’t starve elderly widows to death?"
Apparently not.
Don't he and the backpack kids have grandmothers?
Thanks for treating those of us on Social Security like "grandmas" who are too old and senile to know what's going on. How insulting.

Just don't presume you're qualified to speak for all of us. It's offensive.
