Well that is the way the conservatives think.  They do not raise the taxes so they can keep the benefits low of Medicaid, food stamps, rental assistance, etc.  The benefits are for the people that are at their lowest.  I only hope that when I do start working that I am able to get healthcare through that job that will help cover enough healthcare that I need.  I basically only go to the doctors for basic needs.  Fortunately I do not have any serious health problems.  I will have my surgery on my bladder hopefully in the summer.  Other than that, I don't go to the doctor's very often.  We have it set up that I call her for my prescriptions and go in if I need anything.  I don't go to my rehab doctor very often either.  It's about every 6 months. Also with pain management specialist is like every 3 months.  My biggest issue will be with my prescriptions. Just the Neurontin alone will kill me if it is something insurance may not cover.  I do not intend on keeping my hours low enough just to keep receiving benefits. My whole intention of getting a degree is to get out in the work force and get off of the system.  I hate being in it with a passion.  I just hope that it all works out the way I intend it to.

...i wish you luck, Stacy!!  I'd rather keep those benefits and work...never know when something will knock u out of job for a while.  Plus, it's a loooong day on me to work 8am to 4;30pm....i don't feel guilt for stayin on system, it's what we have paid into....that's why this system was set up, and i think most AB hope they can be taken care of if they end up quad.  Thing is, it's not a lot to live on...i make 12K a year on SS, but anoher 12K through work.  If my job was to relocate, overseas, i'd be without a job...not sure what i'd do!!
