Yes that would be the plan if she so chooses to go that route.

Yes she has choices, it's just picking which one...most will leave her without affordable health insurance. So I pick moving to a different state and being able to get insurance. I just think it sucks you can move to a different state and get ins. but those that LIVE in the state can't get ins. unless they have been without for 6-12months.

Well, that's a lot better than "My mother is a perfect example right now. She is 61, not old enough for Medicare, but makes too much money for Medicaid. She cannot get state insurance, because she doesn't meet the income guidelines for that. She can't pay for private insurance because she has diabetes and she will not get accepted since she is insulin dependent."
We've already previously established that I MAKE less a month than you RECEIVE in cs. And yet, I pay just under $200 to have insurance for both my kids. I guess if I can swing it, your mother can as well. And one thing your mother has that I don't have - family who can help out. **shrugs**

However Sharron even if she could get disability from SSDI she still would not be eligible for Medicare for a year after she applies and that is only IF they approve it. It took me almost 4 years before I was approved and only after appeal. If took almost 2 years to get may appeals hearing and even at that it had to be a video hearing because it had to be an out of state judge.

In my state she can work and still earn $800 a month after she files while she is waiting for approval. I think this is actually federal quidelines.

I'm sure the good people of San Fran will vote her back into office.. we cannot seem to vote the bad ones out because most of them have been there for over 40 years...

I think it is horrible! Fix the corruption in what we HAVE, don't reinvent the wheel.

...are the LAWYERS (no tort reform) and those who will benefit from government run insurance. The employer fees and fines in this bill will cost us ANOTHER 5 million jobs. This bill is DEVASTATING, and on more than a healthcare level.
