And you have to produce a photo ID to pick up that script, correct? But... but... but... requiring a photo ID to vote is rayciss!!!

We need much LESS gov't...not MORE gov't.

You are taking a scheduled drug. No such thing as a blanket prescription. Get over it.

Where is the Republican healthcare plan to fix ObamaCare?

Crickets
Obamacare is a liberal crap sandwich. Enjoy the taste. Not the conservatives problem to fix a liberal screwup.

Yeah. You are.
You do not have the right to be pleased with everything.

I heard that if you earn too much, you can lose your disability.

The healthcare system in America is a complete joke.

This thread seems a little fishy. There are many adults who have worked for decades that still have trouble getting disability and you make it sound like you just signed up for disability due to ADHD.

That’s impossible! It’s simply impossible for the government to provide a service better than the private sector. Unless you are telling me that Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are wrong. They can’t put anything on TV or the radio if it isn’t true.
