How do you define 'a true disability'?

TweetyBird

i have 2 checks.. since dr say i cant work cuz of my back...


i have Large herniation centrally at L5-S1 causing central canal stenosis with AP diameter of 7mm. Defect is very slightly larger to the right than left. it does appear to cause bilateral S1 nerve root imingement, right more severe than left. Pofminet bulging annulus at L4-5 which shows high signal intensity along the posterior disc margin. this high signal intensity suggests posterior annulus tear..

also now i feel worse, anytime surgery this yr or next yr... depend what dr say.. i will see dr this oct ...

Then how come 80% of people on disabilty/SSI want to work? Most people with disablities who are on SSI, need the money to qualify for Mediaid which covers a lot of stuff that insurance doesn't. There are people who have victim mentalities, but it's mostly a health care concern.

Oh I agree...and a lot of times those types of surguries are functional, since they can improve a lot of things, like speech, eating and stuff like that....but getting plastic surgery b/c you don't measure up to The Body (Elle McPhersen) is beyond rediclous...what next? "Oh if only my heart were two shades redder?"

Boult

that so called benefit is available now after Iraq war has started because those females who comes back beaten up.. need their boobs fixed eh...

you must have missed the news where a porn stars is protesting that those $$ should goes to bullets not boobs.. (I believe that was part of $87 Billions that republicans passed and signed by Bush whereas most of those $$$ went to no-bid contract winner Haliburtion (Dick's former company) and the same bill that Kerry voted against because of those verse in the bill regarding no-bid contract.

No...that is NOT true. My sister's friend said that when she was in Hawaii, all the military personal SPOUSES (not anyone who had damage from combat) were all getting butt lifts. I have zero beef with reconstructive surgery...but free boob jobs and butt lifts are too much! I mean we have military personal on welfare for crying out loud!

Defee

You know something? you are darn right! I know a co worker (female) whose husband WAS in the Navy and she had face lift and eye lifts for free just because her husband retired from Navy..geeez...not fair! Also when she and her husband went to Hawaii cuz their daughter was living there and they flew on military plane for free.....damn!

Boult

makes you wonder why millions of people has crappy healthcare or without even un-afforable while those in military get better healthcare eh? Bush is not promising us anything... time to throw him out of office.. Put Kerry in and let Sen. Clinton work with him to give us (all of us in USA regardless of income!) the best Health care that are equal to those who works in congress/white house!

Reba

That would be a "space available" flight. That means the military plane was flying to that destination for an official mission, and they had empty seats available for passengers. On a "space 'a'" flight, it is first come first serve, waiting for a seat. You might get bumped. There are no guarantees. If someone with military orders gets to the airport and they need your seat, you get off. Retirees are last in line.

The seats would be empty otherwise, so why not let a retiree ride? That is a small benefit compared with 20-30 years of military service and long family separations.

Reba

Are you saying military and their families don't deserve their health care benefits? I think they have earned their benefits.

You expect health care for yourself; what did you do to earn it?

Beowulf

Read what Boult said. Only YOU are implying anything.
The deaf cannot serve in the military, so YOU are saying that the deaf are to be penalized???
EVERYONE deserves medical care, period.

Reba

Deaf people who are physically able to work can get medical insurance from their employer, just like hearing people do. If they are not physically able to work, they are eligible for Medicaid, just like hearing people. Not all hearing people can join the military either.

Medical care would be more affordable for everyone if the rates could be kept down by limiting malpractice awards (tort reform), and by encouraging Medical/Health Savings Accounts with tax-free interest.

The*Empress

but disability people need SSI, SSA, and SSDI,
because it isn't easy to find job.

Like I said before, you voted for Bush and you deserve this shit if Bush overhauls Social Security. There is a new term for Bush voters who complain about Bush and his decisions, "Your vote. Your fault." I quoted that from Guardian, UK newspaper.

You can either way, no more vote for President-candidate republicans or write the letter down and send to congressmen/congresswomen-republicans to let them know that you don't want Bush to overhauls Social Security.. Sometimes the voice of individual does work, sometimes it doesn't work.

Your vote. Your fault.

WBHarley

then go get yourself a job with Avon..

I just became Avon Repsentative. I don't give any hoot if this is cheap pay but AT LEAST I start something to proof the world that I start working now! since My son's medical treatment is DONE only thing he has are-- Follow up!


Wendy

WBHarley

Wendy

The*Empress

That is why I got myself SSI, I knew that the people out there
won't let me do what I need to do. I had tough time, especially
at California... tough experience... and other places and even
my home town... Some people are cruel. So anyway...
I knew that I won't ever work... so I got myself SSI, will get foodstamp.

Planning to not have kids, stay away from men, not get marry,
live with my mom, after she dies, she said I can have this house,
and I got transportation... and that is all I need. I'll make friends
and be closer to family members.... and I'll be careful with my health,
so I won't have to live in nursing home when I get old or anything...

I believe into work. Majority of deaf people are at home smoking pots and taking care of their children in poor care. That is wrong and we should cut SSI, SDI, and other that welfare programs.

I understand some people really can't work but they can work at home anyway. I just want the welfare to push more strict with choosing the clinet to provide SSI, SDI, or etc.

For example I am at Gallaudet University and I get $943 (Califonria's SSI). I believe it is joke but thank god for that I have those money to pay off the debts from Gallaudet.

My questions, is it fair compared with hearing people that they had to pay lots more than deaf people do, for Univeristy turitions? Is it neccessary to have SSI while you can get jobs?

I don't like that idea, I am deaf and I need money. That is extremely lame compared to some people had back problems that they couldn't walk or do works at outside of their house. They deserve SSI but they still can work at their home.

Some people tend to say that I can't get job but they can work at McDonald's or Taco Bell or Small store. They need to think that they have to start from below and then they can climb to whatever they want. It is sad that people don't even try to work at McDonald's or whatever it is.

*I know some of you may hate it but you may have to start it on those thing to get whatever you want*

Conclusion: Many people abuses the SSI, SDI, and welfare system. We need to reform the system. If we change and it will save us some of taxes.

Vance

Serious? Some Californians I know, they only get $700 - $750 at best.

I wonder how did you get that much while some Californians didn't..?

Crazymanw00t

I don't know. It is too odd on what I had compared with other people. I don't meant to brag but my family earns good salaries. My first father died and I already had SDI and that was no longer when I came out from High School. I don't know why I got $943 and other people got $700s. Maybe they are living with someone and they used their foods. So they lost some welfare support. California's SSI laws are little strict but I found a way to loop it and I got top SSI $ amount that they could give.

Remember SSI was a privilege for deaf people to use and I said, "why not use it because I am deaf." Still, I don't like to take use SSI just because I am deaf. I need those $ to remain at Gallaudet. At same time, it could save our family’s budget.

At first, I had $943 and then they changed it to $742 because they said that I am living in someone's place. Therefore, someone at the house feed me. I lost the food welfare. I fought with SSI that I am not living in someone's place. I am using Gallaudet's dorm for shelter. I also had to pay Gallaudet's meal plan for foods. Therefore, SSI played around with their laws with me so I straighten it up and got my $943 back.

It is sad that many people don't fight back to the SSI. I understand with deaf's problem with English. The SSI laws and SSI's letter are often too complexed for many deaf people. They usually accepted what SSI said. That how SSI played game with deaf people. It was totally evil's way from my view but again it is politic thing.

ravensteve1961

Well were about to see those wild west days returning when you had bank robberies all the time if we lose SSI/SSA/SSDI youre gonna see people tolding up tellers and shoot em. Now girls will never wanna be bank tellers because they fear they might get shot at.
