Obamacare

This argument is from the 2010 election when groups were trying to unseat the Democratic incumbents that voted for Obamacare. Although my representative is Democratic, Jason Altmire, he didn't vote for that nor did he get unseated...

Having spent three weeks in a hospital in Naples, Florida with my wife, I couldn’t help noticing what was going on in the hospital and I had a lot of time to talk to the doctors and nurses about what I had observed. Below is a commentary from an ER Doctor. Do you think this might be a big reason our health care system and our social security system are so screwed up? Do you think this might be a big reason our taxes keep going up?

From a Florida ER doctor:
"I live and work in a state overrun with illegal immigrants. They make more money having kids than we earn working full-time. Today I had a 25-year old with 8 kids; all illegal anchor babies and she had the nicest nails, cell phone, hand bag, clothing, etc. She makes about $1,500 monthly for each. I used to say, “We are the dumbest nation on earth.” Now I must say and sadly admit: WE are the dumbest people on earth (that includes ME) for we elected the politicians who have passed the bills that allow for this."

If the immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004. She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and there's a 'catch 22.'

It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890. Each can also obtain an additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.

This compares to a single pensioner, who can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.

Maybe if more people knew about this, we can get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and help save Social Security. I don't want to persecute refugees because that would be unjust. They are my brothers and sisters in Christ. It's not their fault for accepting the money. That's the smart thing to do. It's the politicians fault for offering it and the voters being dumb for voting for those politicians in the first place. So I'm not asking to be unmerciful to people in need. If our retirees are in need of $1,012/month, then they should get it. If refugees are in need too, they should get $1,012/month too. They shouldn't get nothing like people on one side may say, and they shouldn't get $2470 like they are now. This way Social Security will be around a little longer to help out more people in need, retirees and refugees alike.

Maybe if more people knew what the majority of our elected politicians had been doing for years to over-taxed Americans, things would be better.
