"Kenny this is the same DAMNED thing as the child credit even though people can’t afford to have children WE give them HUGE tax refunds EVERY YEAR even though they pay NO TAXES!!! We always had Medicaid for people who NEEDED health care which WE all already paid for!!! This IS republican welfare no matter how you look at it !!!!"

I never had insurance. I went to the dr when I needed to and paid for it myself. Because I had no insurance the drs didn't prescribe me any medication even if I needed it because it was so expensive. They'd tell me to get OTC stuff and get insurance.

Then I was forced to get insurance because it became law. Due to my income (I do pay income tax, RE and School taxes), I ended up on Medicaid. Now the drs over prescribed. I pay $1.00 for prescriptions, $0.00 for office visit or tests. THIS IS WRONG. Someone is paying for me. I should be paying something.

I find the medical system is a scam.

Meanwhile a local gal has no job, has 3 children, big dogs, a SUV, beautiful new teeth, is on welfare, food stamps the whole nine yards and gets a huge refund. I pay for her children's schooling through school taxes.

If people can have children, have a car, have a house, have pets, surely they can set aside money for their own personal health! Why are they rewarded?

I never in my life had insurance either, I always paid out of my pocket I was self employed after I turned 58 I went and got a job at a grocery chain so I could get health insurance I work only 24 hours a week to keep my insurance!!! It is NOT the governments job to give huge tax credits for having children either!!!

The welfare secretary here quit because their clients (isn't that a warm fuzzy label) were bringing in more free other people's money by sitting on their butts than she was working full time.
