Again... if you read the rest of the post you will see that....I apologized, and that I never cut down Medicaid or financial assistance. I am insupprt of medicare paying for WLS to get people back into the work force.
My problem was sitting on $8,000 while on food stamps. And I stand behind that! You have a right to disagree, but i have a right to express my opinion without anyone asking for it.
“I would make the same comment if anyone on assistance was having liposuction, a boob job, or having their teeth whitened."
You just proved my point in my last post. RNY is for the disease of obesity. It is not a cosmetic procedure. You think I’d go through all the crap I’ve gone through for looks?!?!?
I think you need to educate yourself on this process, why people do it, and the TRUE spirit of help.

On another note, my unemployment money (when I had unemployment money) did come from my employer's insurance, but I still PAID TAXES on it. Again, I recommend you taking a good hard look at your faith that you have mentioned. Do you follow Christ or do you follow your politics?

That's not a tiara. I just bedazzle my horns.
Hand outs?!?!?
That is SO laughable. Because you know Raven’s story right? You know how long she’s worked and how much she’s put into the system, right? Because you’re carrying around a friggin’ crystal ball right?
There is NO shame in asking for help with food and living expenses if you need it. I am a struggling single mother and while I’ve never had to access public assistance believe me I would have if the need ever arose. Before I let my babies go hungry or be homeless I would. And before I let them be left orphaned in the world (cuz I know that nobody can or would care for them as well as I do) I would access Medicaid to have RNY to cure me of the debilitating DISEASE of obesity.

The Kroger and WalMart stores here have electric shopping carts where you can sit down and do your shopping. Is this not available in where you live?

You’re just sayin what? That obesity is not a disease? That it should somehow be treated differently than stage 1 cancer or diabetes or all the other diseases covered by Medicaid?
Your prejudice says a lot…including that you are among those who still views obesity as a character defect and WLS as some cosmetic endeavor or luxury. I know I did not do this to look good. I did it to save my life! Raven is doing this to save her life! So are you saying that my life (which is covered by medical insurance) is worth more than hers.
I didn’t think so!

I dont need to feel better about myself. I'am well past that stage
Your unemployment $$$ comes from an insurance fund paid by your employer. I pay the same for my employees
I have had 3 strokes that enables me to apply for SS disability and those little "handicap tags"
Each wont offer me anything that will do me any good
And yes, I got real fat from to much stuff in the cake hole, it was that simple for me
WLS FOR PEOPLE with MORBID F***** OBESITY TO SAVE THEIR LIVES PERIOD. ITS NOT LIKE A F***** NOSE JOB; *****ALLY WANTS TO UNDER A KNIFE? ESPECIALLY TO HAVE YOUR ANATOMY CHANGED. QUIT HATIN ON PEOPLE.BECAUSE YOU KNOW THATS WHAT YOU WILL BE PISSED OFF TALKIN ABOUT ALL DAY.
