Fishin ,

I so get what your saying.

Correct it's not directly these people causing the increase but..... if X person gets across the water in my former state Florida they are indeed going to be getting benefits.

My state Tennessee did not expand Medicaid benefits so neither my husband or I can/ could get help. Not even food stamps.

We are currently considering moving back to Florida because at " this point" we could get more help. We own our place here free and clear. The thought of going back down there and possibly not having the security of full ownership scares the hell out of us. One rent payment or home payment could put us on the streets.

What's the solution? I have no blooming idea. But I do want all the politicians be required to have same insurance options as us normal John and Sally's yeah term limits , but that a whole other mess !

I know I'm cranky.... Fibro pain is horrific and has been for weeks and I'm losing my grip tbh. But I have no means of finding help because actual pain meds won't help, and tell a medical provider you have Bipolar And Fibro ??!!!!!!????!! which there is no specific test to prove both either condition. Yeah no help to be given.

Sorry I high jacked this thread Moose, I'm just hanging on that last tiny strand of the rope,
