Definitely a safe assumption. I did the math once for the salary of a SNAP fraud investigator and they would have had to kick something like two dozen full families off benefits every month to even justify their annual pay, let alone overhead, administration . . .
The health insurance that comes with my SSI just denied coverage for a medication that might help me manage my disability.
I'm so sorry. I don't have anything else to say about that, but I'm going to go to bed reflecting on that petty cruelty you've experienced.
Ah, shit, I've spent the last few days wondering how these people sleep at night and then I end up contributing to a comrade's insomnia instead.
I can't imagine. Every day you're looking people in the face telling them that a state that absolutely could help them is instead condemning them to torment and death. Every single day, all day long.
Social security won't cover a drug cocktail injected into my spine that I should be getting monthly but it's like $3,000 a shot. It's approved for people with my condition but only if they got it from diabetes. If it's the result of a trauma injury, it's not FDA approved, so it's not covered.
Before I lost that coverage, the doctors and I were looking into weaning me off vicodin. That didn't happen, so now I've been on it for over a decade (you're only supposed to take it for like 6 months at most lmao).
Goddamn them. So you had the coverage, and they took it away? This fucking country.
Yah I lost coverage when my mom retired because I had to switch providers.
Isn't snap fraud like less than 1%?
