Starting to understand why red states might be voting against Medicaid and SSI

40. Around here

It is not propaganda and bull shit stories they get on the programs and it goes from one generation to the next. They get it easily. They can go in and say things like I cant be around large groups of people, like my nephews ex did and then lived with his parents, his brother and sister and the 5 children they had in a mobile home. The 5 children qualified them for lots of benefits, he now has 9 children. He did lose the SNAP for awhile, they got caught buying the food and selling it to be able to buy drugs. The programs are set up only for people who have children. They work the system. It needs changed. Which would have been better done by the democrats, I'm afraid the republicans will gut the entire thing.
They have been chopping at the bit to do it. My brother-in-law had cancer and heart trouble and had a time getting on SSI. He had to get a lawyer. Him and my sister had gotten some temporary help but lost all that when she went to work for walmart part time. The case worker told her it shouldn't be a problem Walmart's has $4.00 prescriptions. If it wasn't for the VA he wouldn't have had health care. The disability insurance he had paid for would not pay a cent. He died a few months after.I think SSI dragged it out as long as they could so they would not have to pay. So my sister who is not old enough to retire works at walmart as part time with benefits does not qualify for any help at all. She does not make enough to live on.
