It was bad enough when my son was dropped by CHIP after only one month of coverage due to cuts in funding... but yet 2 months later I hear this commercial on the radio where a school nurse is calling Mrs. Gonzales or some spanish name to let her no Jose is running a fever and "oh by the way, why don't you apply for CHIP.." Talk about fuming!
But then again, it's kinda like my neighbors.... bi-racial family of 4 - mom, dad, son, daughter.... No one in the home works because 3 of them (dad & kids) draw SSI due to "disabilities"... uh huh... really disabled. Kids play unsupervised non-stop, dad works out at the gym everyday.
Yet, there again, my disabled son does not qualify for CHIP or SSI... go figure.
Same concept as paying for Illegals healthcare.
It's just so sickening and so very WRONG! Just makes me work that much harder to NOT be dependent on the gov't or anyone else for anything.
I understand what you are saying. Just don't let your son's or your health care go. This is happening all to often for Americans.
