| Autistic child outlives parents - what does s/he do for health care? and daily survival? I mean after we vote away socialist programs like state aid? right? tfoly - you don't get how dependant some people can be - "succeed on their own" is not a viable answer in the spirit of this question Elections - 6 Answers  Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : Relies on the state. 2 : That is what the health care bill is all about. 3 : I don't think anyone is out there saying that we should put an end to programs like state aid. I have never heard anyone from any group, party or ideology even tout that. The question is how are we going to pay for it and make it a sustainable solution? Do we put more money into it and make it bigger or do we find ways to make private funding more workable. If the feds simply paid the same rate insurers pay for services instead of paying far less and far slower, more doctors would accept low income patients and be able to earn an income. Premiums would decrease because the private insurers wouldn't be forced to pick up the rest of the tab, More people could afford private care and the private insurers could do far more to create programs to help people. Some government intervention is necessary to make insurers do what they should but not an entire takeover. In the end, socialism does not help the poor it only creates more poor and a wider division between the rich and poor. It disables people from having the power to do things for themselves. Plus, when you are talking about an autistic child who outlives their parents, their parent was not properly trained or told what to do to prepare for the case of that event. We don't do enough to explain to parents of special needs children that they have important responsiibilities such as lining up people willing to take that child in case of their death. The healthcare system has not evolved to the point of giving parents a handbook, just a diagnosis and then the parent has to figure it out from there and if they are not responsible or capable that far then that is something that DCFS should be looking into helping them with. The government cannot manage everything. I'm not sure it can manage anything from what I've seen. The problem is that when we turn state emergency aid into - managed care for all Americans who are not super rich - then we are talking Animal Farm. Some people are more equal than others. I sure hope you've read that George Orwell novel. State aid here is a mass of cows running to a clinic getting little to no care because the doctors don't have time to provide care when the caseload is so massive. State aid is 59 months behind in paying the doctor. Will the malpractice company, electric bills and other bills doctors pay wait that long to get paid? How will a doctor earn a living? The best doctors don't practice here anymore. Making an unsustainable program bigger is not the answer. Without tort reform and controls on lawsuits - the lawyers and insurance companies will never feel the hurt. But, the rest of us will as it gets bigger and more expensive at some point raising taxes will not cover it and then the cuts will come - some services will not be provided to those without private care, they will start with age limits and deciding who is most valuable to receive care. It's what it leads to that is scary - not the idea of utopia itself. 4 : Well one example get help from the State like Food Stamps and Medicaid, two Get help from Friends and Relatives or Three have him or her Succeed on his or her own I'm sure they don't need any help as Adults. 5 : We are one of the few countries that don't take care of it's citizens. Republicans have you so damn scared of everything the government now has become the enemy. Government is only the party in power. For 30 years Republicans have ruled the roost. Check the national debt just before Reagan and after the Bush kid. They added trillions to the debt and what did we get? Everything crashed because middle America could no longer support big business. Does anyone remember . McCain saying the economy is sound? what happened Wall Street Crashed why? same reason the 29 crash. http://www.nowpublic.com/world/mccains-good-buddy-gramm-architect-deregulation-wall-street Now they have you believing the Democrats did all this damage in 2 years and why isn't thinks working now, simple http://www.google.com/search?q=republican+obstruction&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Now middle class Republicans are voting in extreme right wing tea party wackos. glad I'm retired your about to make another costly mistake. . 6 : they'll have to rely on the sate unless the child decides to be come independent.
