There are cases where that's allready happening, and a good deal of people are committing fraud by getting doctors to say that they are indeed unable to work. I have no problem at all with helping poor people, if I had it my way, everyone would be rich and the whole thing would be solved and everyone would be happy. Now that my idealistic side has had a chance to do a little frolicking, back to reality. We can't do away with welfare, it is too popular, but we can reform it to make it better. By making sure that people aren't committing any kind of fraud, whether it be by personally inflicting wounds upon themselves or getting doctors to say they are disabled, and other stuff like that. I'm not so sure about a National Health Care Plan, because I've seen what it does in England and it basically cancels out any competition and leaves only one choice, which is the Government's Health Care, which moves slower than molasses. Now I have no clue about any of the details for our NHCP, if it left competition out there to give a better product to the consumers, then sure, I might be onboard for that bill, and it gave the help to those who really needed it and can't afford the more expensive, but quality health care offered by HMOs (another thing that needs reform, but that's another story). This is like one of the few issues that I'm not so gung-ho totally Republican about, I may be conservative about it, but I'm not going to turn a blind eye to people that really do need the help and just write them
all off as lazy asses who won't get a job.
