"We desperately need an answer to 50 million uninsured and the number is dramatically growing every day." I'm willing to bet that if some people besides politicians and lawyers applied their mind to it, this could be accomplished without violating the constitution.

Ah..some scammers in that business...right? Lawyers aren't really needed for initial SS Disability claims. They get paid on a percentage of the "back pay" and have a vested interest in their clients not receiving a swift award. That is why the "lawyers" tell applicants they will usually get turned down on the first round and will have to appeal. The attorneys get on the stick as the two year max pay out nears. Then...surprise...great job....the attorney gets 25% or so up to 6 grand and the client gets the rest. The client is better off simply filing with the honest folks at Social Security and have all there medical records available. Unless the "lawyer" encourages the client to lie the chances of the award are equal, but there is a penalty for lying. The award is often more swift without those scam lawyers interests involved. If the disable individual is not able to file on his own due to competency or similar reasons another person may assist them. An attorney gets nothing if a client files and receives a swift award. There is a 6 month period after the disability that isn't counted in the back pay....right? A very confusing time. Hard for a person to find a real honest attorney for SSD. Quite a scam many of those "lawyers" have ..eh? I know you are an honest one...right? Those scammers, they are out there ...right?

Such a cut would allow me to pay my SECRETARY some health care benefits. I don't need such a plan because the taxpayers already pay for mine through my wife's federal employment.

Because I have practiced Disability Law for the past 40 years, I am keenly aware of the need........... Are you aware of the need to police some whacko activists on your side if you are lawyer, and not overwhelmed by your racism? How would you feel if some conservative nutjob tweeted and re-tweeted your address to agitated whackjobs because he thought he was proving some ancient point that nobody here was involved with............AND WAS WRONG? I suggest it is time for some self-policing by adults on your side that have some logic remaining. If it was me, or my wife on the end of those tweets................the final war would have begun this week or next. That is not a threat....................just a fact.................and it doesn't even matter.............because there is no stopping it now, anyway.
