Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how much the government pays out to medicare, medicaid, and SSI each year? I wonder how much is spent on people with a “disability” as opposed to “age.”

How long can you hold your breath? Our government opts for patients with lung diseases suffering needlessly from brain, heart and kidney damage instead of spending our taxes on supplemental oxygen. I challenge medicaid/medicare rulemakers to wear plastic bags over their heads to see how they function on a blood oxygen saturation of 88%.

A girl I work with is always complains about welfare, she is sick of paying for peoples health care…her own mother and brother are on medicare and food stamps and her husband had emergency medicaid when he was in a car accident…who’s paying for that?

MMQD asked:


My parents are both over 70. They became permanent residents last year. But they never actually worked here before. Is there a way for them to become eligible for medicare or medicaid? If they have to work, how long do they have to work? Can they work at private industry or self-employed?
