you do know many welfare and food stamp recipients are our militray vets dont you?
I think that those who do not want "recipients" of the loot stolen from people by the thug government to be able to vote is simply that looters are "bought" votes. Having a system of extortion and theft run by government to steal from some to give to others leads to further strengthening the criminal enterprise of "entitlements".

Think healthcare needs to be reformed and Medicaid. Think Medicaid should only be given to those on disability and case by case basis of those who are homeless. For homeless have to be associated with a shelter or social service program. The insurance is temporary as long as your on disability and 24 month's for homeless with a 12 month gap before being abe to reapply..
Universal healthcare for those 65 and older.
Keep WIC program
I am so sick and tired of entitled seniors. Universal health care for 65 and older? How about universal health coverage for everyone or no one. Seniors vote all these benefits for themselves but I pay for it. Seniors were against health coverage for citizens younger than they are but want those same citizens without health coverage to pay for seniors.
Further, one in five seniors is also on Medicaid. That's right, one in five seniors collects Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. And let's not forget the unfunded Medicare Part D because seniors just can't suck up enough money for themselves while complaining about everyone else.
- Few seniors have actually paid for their Medicare benefits. According to an Urban Institute estimate, the typical retired couple paid $122,000 in lifetime Medicare taxes but can expect to receive benefits worth $387,000. Social Security is another story. There, the average retired couple paid $600,000 in lifetime taxes for $579,000 in benefits. Put together, it's $722,000 in taxes for $966,000 in benefits. (All figures are adjusted for inflation.)
I would have no problem with states running their own health care as long as my state could implement a five or ten year qualification period so people from other states couldn't run to my state when they get sick. I would want an extremely long qualification period. They can hold their own state accountable, not run to my state.

Do you feel states should also be able to do the same in regards to social programs for immigrants?
If Florida wanted to hold off on things like WIC for illegals until they have been in the state paying taxes for ten years, should Florida have that right?
