You want to see people starving on street corners? Many, MANY people get into situations where they need a little help, at one time including myself. Food stamps etc kept our family alive and together until we could get back on our feet, god bless food stamps. Of course, brilliant people such as yourself, and I can tell your brilliant by your business success, would never need food stamps. I'm sure you think only fat black women with ten criminal kids use food stamps, because that's what you've TOLD to think.

LOL! Dude, relax
I never said anything bad about people on food stamps. I said they are getting something for free so they certainly aren't going to be COMPLAINING about it. Just like Medicare/caid patients aren't going to complain - they walk in, they get taken care of. What's to complain about?
Why are doctors no longer taking them? Slow payments is the #1 reason. My personal doctor hasn't taken Medicare/caid patients in years. He was LOSING money taking them. Just like a lot of landlords won't rent to Section 8 tenants - free money? Yeah - with a lot of strings attached and it can take months for that first check to come in.
ONCE AGAIN, I don't care if the rest of you want to go to the government doctors and hospitals, but I think it's absurd to cheer on someone who wants to take away the ability to get private coverage.
