From the Idaho Health and Welfare Application for Benefits:

Do I Have to Be a Citizen?

No. Please do not let fear of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) keep you from seeking needed benefits for your family. Receiving health coverage, Food Stamps, and child care for your eligible children will not prevent you from gaining lawful, permanent residence or U.S. citizenship, or from sponsoring relatives, if you can support them....

Our health Care

What's wrong with our countries health care system?   Well here is a great example.   I was talking to a lady today who has severe arthritis in her hands.   Her finger is bent back to a point where it is touching her palm and is very painful. 


She needs to go to her doctors office but she doesn't have the $30 co-pay so will be visiting the ER instead.   I asked if her insurance would cover the ER visiting 100%.  She believes it will. 


Now first off.. what is the sense of paying 100% for an ER visit but not 100% for a doctors office visit?  


Second.. do you see a problem here?  If someone who HAS insurance still can't afford to go to the doctor what about the millions of Americans who have NO insurance?
