disability, ssi is something that really needs to be investigated and redone. there r so many deadbeats on it. drug/alcohol addicts get on it for stupid things.ie head aches, back pain when they r just plain lazy. also once they r on it they stay on it, even if in prison. mel ignato killed his girlfriend here in the 80s i think. he is on disability for 2 things, one being arthritis in his spine. he collected it and still does when he was put in jail for perjury. he use to be a millionaire. leave medicare and social security alone. medicaid is needing a revamp too. too many illegals and deadbeats r running up medical bills on the tax payers tab.

the politicians wont do anything about it they r not in the social security system. their retirement is funded by the taxpayers as is their health plans so there is no incentive to make any quality revisions. social security and medicare work just fine they need to be left alone.
