Steve,

The reason we can't have that is that no all people are paying for this coverage

that is for those are living legally and paying taxes so it is not as cut as

dried as that.

I cannot go to Canada and receive their " free healthcare " and come back home, go

back and live here without paying taxes.

So it is easy to complain about it but to come up with solutions isn't so easy.

We have too many people taking " advantage " of entitlements that were made for

when they could no longer do for themselves but depend on the entitlements to

avoid doing their part.

I put my 26 years of military, worked my time, my husband did also, but if he

dies, his retirement ends, so does mine.

Everything is not free unfortunetely. You have to realize someone is paying

for that " comprehensive coverage of Medicaid " and I was one of them but do not

qualify for it but am glad for what I do have and am glad I can get my kid

coverage who never received CHIP either so that is where my money went.

You cannot tell Medicare you can work some or want to work and then get upset

that you do not get Medicaid as Medicaid is supposedly for those who cannot do

any or have any income. Bennie
