That can happen but what may come out of it is if millions are effected by this behavior, pressure to change the system quickly could take place also. At one point we lost our coverage because of the economy and I had to pay out of pocket for my wife's care. We came within a hair's width of losing everything. I contacted my congressman whose staff helped us keep our home by keeping the dogs off our backs and sped up my wife's SSDI, which took 3+ years to acquire. The stress was horrible.

Oh no no no, JimKing my rant was not directed at you hon. Heck I helped to vote Obama in for a second term to ensure the Affordable Healthcare Act would happen for the very reasons I mentioned. Let me just follow that up with Obama has lost a lot of good graces with me personally. Just too many unkept promises, as is the case with most politicians.
I am so glad that you were able to eventually get your wife covered and not lose everything in the process. I think it’s ridiculous that one must fight the government for benefits that you’ve paid in to receive. I mean it’s well known that you will be denied the first time you apply for SS Benefits. Or at least VERY FEW receive benefits on an initial application. And then IF you get approved, more than likely you’ll be waiting another couple of years to be able to use it. That’s insane! And to add insult to injury, after the first couple of years you’ll be forced to requalify. Good grief! This was to my point of having to fight for everything, it seems.
