I remember one guy was crippled with RA (like my father) and he had no family. They had all passed away and he never married if I remember the story correctly.
Anyway he was in there for a month or 2 with complications and my wife said rarely did he have a visitor. Maybe once or twice. I think we should take care of these people as long as they need. The people like you are talking about remind me of some of my family who are quite capable of working yet they sit around on welfare and ask for money. Sad. |
There are many sad situations and valid claims for people who need help Strype. Those people who qualify can draw disability from the Social Security Administration. Hospital social workers should be able to assist people in initiating those claims. I'm somewhat familiar with the system since the attorney I work for specializes in Social Security Disability claims.
Like you, it's able bodied people with no drive or ambition who frustrate me. I'm not about kicking people to the curb who are in real need of help.
