Hummmmmmmmm...wonder if that applies to welfare clients? They are effectively on a daily food allowance. If they go to a hospital, do they have to pay for their food? Or for that matter, any of our House or Senate when they are on a trip, getting a per diem, and land in the hospital... If one of our soldiers is on active duty in a war, gets injured, goes to the hospital.....I think it is TERRIBLE that they would have to pay back their food allowance. No, they don't, Karen. The story twisted the fact that if you are on a daily food allowance instead of rations when you go into the Hospital, you lose the allowance. Since it is given to you as a monthly allotment, they backcharge it out of your next paycheck. That's fair.
