It is a shame. I've seen people really needing disability such as a girl I knew years ago that had AIDS but someone that has bi polar can get it in a heartbeat. If they took their meds, then a lot of them would be fine. My brother for example took the meds, felt better then stopped. People take from the system then work under the table so they get both. It really works my nervs. That amognst so many other things such as Medicare wouldn't cover a gel overlay for my cushion so my sore got worse. 5 surgeries and an extreme amount of homehealth to monitor the sore including 400 bucks for a roho cushion is crazy. I wouldn't have to had suffer and they wouldn't have had to pay so much if they would have just forked over the 170 for what I needed in the first place. Now my blood pressure just rose. hehe.
If I were queen of the world....

That's one of the hardest obstacles to get past when you're hiring an aide, the wait time for them to get paid is just too long for some people and who can blame them? The system is so overly abused it's disgusting but it's the government so what can you expect? Mark Jackson RollinOn From: John S.

She has her provider number but believe it or not the company that oversees waiver in Ohio has a special office with one lady in charge of over 1300 independants in this part of the state. They aren't all waiver. Some are just house cleaners for elderly people. I've met some others on waiver. Its an abused system. Theres a blind lady that drives. A wealthy politician who's autistic 3year old gets 60 hours of care a week so his wife can be vice president of the historical society. One guy is simply diabetic and gets 35 hours a week. now I'm reading where it could take 6 weeks for her first pay check. Then again, I only qualify for 15 hours. I use to get 30 hours but they did an audit and told me was abusing the system. john ----- Original Message ---- From: Stacy Harim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 4:37:10 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Unidentified subject! Wow, the waiver pays 13.01 and hour for independent providers in MD. The paperwork constantly changes. Do you have some sort of coordinator to help you through it?

Most aids get paid minimum wage. Never hired my own so don't know anything about that part. KK Remember: life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes...
