Also, why does mediciad pay for lost glasses? Why does medicaid pay for braces? My insurance does not pay this benefit. We need to start making medicaid recipients accountable. I see generation after generation on welfare. Since when is welfare considered a life time benefit. I understand people with disabilities having this benefit- but laziness should not qualify as a reason to be receiving my hard working dollars! You should be setting up time limits on the benefit. And why does someone who works 2 weeks out of the year recieve 1000's of dollars due to the earned income credit! Shouldn't you have to pay INTO the system to receive a refund from the government? Welfare needs an overhaul and people need to start becoming accountable
