Children who have asthma are eligible for an SSI disability check in the amount of 552.00 per month. There are other perc's involved in having a "disabled child" in your household like being able to stay on welfare beyond the 5 year time limit because the parent is unable to work due to having to care for the child. There is priority low income housing available and the list goes on and on.
Of course, I'm sure that has nothing to do it. (sarcasm off)

Cockroach allergy is the most common cause of asthma.
Lesson: clean your house once in a while and your kids probably won't get asthma.
Of course, if they don't get asthma you won't be able to collect the SSI check every month.

Neat if I have ten kids with asthma I get $5520/month or $66240 a year tax free?
Can I order cockroaches online?

Children who have asthma are eligible for an SSI disability check in the amount of 552.00 per month. Please tell me this isn't true. Is this in addition to any welfare payments/food stamps/WIC they may be receiving?

A recent scientific study concluded that children living near farms, growing up inhaling good old-fashioned dirt (and especially the natural biproducts of 4-legged domestic animals) weren't bothered by asthma. I thought this study would rock the medical/scientific/social world...but it seems to have disappeared into the same black hole that swallowed the truth about Kyoto, recycling, and how many trees are cut down to produce the Sunday NY Times.

I have my opinion on why minorities live in droves in big cities and small cities but I would like to hear someone elses.

Well--there is a very real increase in the incidence of asthma in the US. Find the cause, somebody, and do us a great service.

Children who have asthma are eligible for an SSI disability checkThank you. I've noticed lots of asthma-related advertising on the buses and subway lines that I share with Harlem. I've been wondering why that particular ailment got singled out for attention.
I can't imagine that Harlem's air/conditions are any worse than those in the South Bronx (literally a stone's throw downwind) or the nastier parts of Brooklyn.
Looks like Charlie Rangel (D-Harlem) is doing his job.

Correction:
"Children who have asthma are eligible for an SSI disability check"
There children with very slight cases of asthma. Those children may not be eligible for SSI because the asthma is not severe enough.

"We found that a lot of kids are floating through life without anyone knowing they have asthma." If that is true in Harlam and they are only finding this out because they are testing every kid then logically if they would have to test every kid in the USA to know if the number is unusually high or if slight cases of asthma are common in the general population.

Cigarrettes. Many African-Americans smoke. Less caucasians smoke. Cigarrettes cause asthma.
