"Smoke Filled Backrooms" have been replaced by "Signal Swept Penthouses"?

Yeah, usually the determination results in a denial for lack of information. If they keep you poor and uninsured long enough, you won't be able to afford medical exams to document your claim, ongoing....

You can ask for and get a reconsideration that might take another year, then an appeal if that is turned down, before an Administrative Law Judge.

If the Judge says you need more information, they send you to their doctors.

If that is finally denied you can start a new claim.

But its only proper for our crooked, illegitimately elected officials to do these deals, not the crooked shadow government background channel Rudy Giuliani was running to direct things!

As I previously posted there were very valid reasons for Obama not to supply Ukraine's with large weaponry, trying not to provoke Russia. I also showed that Obama did not "do nothing" as it seems you would like us to believe. Obama moved cautiously unlike Trump.

Trump needed to follow through with what congress approved of, which he eventually did to save his derriere.

I happen to disagree with you as far as no effect on the troops. Different times acquire different measures, each situation as to be individually evaluated, nothing remains the same, therefore giving Trump more credit, is a poor comparison. We also do NOT live in a supreme dictatorship, not yet anyway. Having a loose rogue canon as our commander in chief is not a good thing in this day and age, slow and steady wins the race.

Bye, you're wasting my time.

That's not what Trump is in trouble for and you know it, that comment flew like a led zepplin. Poor, poor pitiful Trumpy, he has my sympathies.

The US medical industry(appropriate name) is an atrocity to say the least.

True Story!

My sons SSD was just approved this year, seven years after having to leave college for Bipolar Disorder.

His Medicaid was terminating as his Social Secutity Disability was finally established. Yesterday his Medicare became effective.

The day before yesterday, I got a phone call waking me from a nap. Some gruff male voice announced he was an Administrative Law Judge with Medicaid and was performing a Judicial Appeal for wrongful termination of my son's Medicaid benefits. I as his responsible decision maker needed to attend and answer!

I told him my late morning nap was already interrupted by two callers who wanted to assist me with extending my auto warranty that was just about to expire, last warning, except I bought a new car in January with a 5 year warranty. They didn't have my name or any info on the car. Scams. Lisa from card holder services also performed her daily robocheck. And one fax signal.

Now I'm supposed to believe out of the blue that a JUDGE is holding a legal proceeding in my living room without asking me to provide any ID!?!

I yelled, " Stop digging in people's trash cans, waking old ladies up from their naps, and F*CK OFF, Bitch!" REALLY loudly. He huffed and hung up.

My son told me at lunch he had gotten a letter....

It was not a scam. But the appeal was initiated by error as the Medicaid SHOULD terminate now that SSD has started. It finally might start to be better for a little minute here.

But Judges are phoning it in now....

The woman at Medicare info told me they did have an order for a phone hearing but it wasn't scheduled. I told her about my phone call. I heard her go pale over the phone! We worked it out.

The stories I could tell about mental health care services availability for medically indigent people.

Actually, the English language has relatively few Latin-derived words. It is not a so-called Romance language like Spanish or French (in this context, Romance refers to the Romans' language, Latin). The word "democracy" is derived from the Greek language. English is closer to German as a language.

By the way, I disagree. It's not un-American!

Hmm, I learned "quid pro quo" in high school debate class. It's three little words, not one big one. Translation? Carrot and stick!

Well, let's see, Crimea is supposed to be part of the Ukraine, and there were many deaths when Putin took it by force
