It is my understanding just from the news, that we will not loose our coverage, or checks from SSDI, SS, Medicaid. What I didn't like is it said "for Now" That was on ABC last eve. Post to hear more on the social security forum. I go there regularily for information concerning benefits. What I don't like at all is our military may not get paid. I will be listening tonight to see if they add any comments. Good luck to you. ginnie
