Medicaid

As it is right now, Medicare is totally inadequate as an insurance program. It doesn't provide dental coverage or vision coverage. When I had CNP (categorically needy person) Medicaid, it covered those things and more. It gave me a sense of independence that I no longer have. My total family income is still under $2,000 a month. In today's economic times, $2,000 is small change, for a family of four. We need a better program than Medicare.

My agenda is that I'm being held hostage by Medicaid and Medicare. I worked for many years and paid into the system. I'm not traveling from state-to-state having babies, I wasn't on drugs and I'm not an alcoholic neither am I a criminal. I was disabled by Multiple Sclerosis more than 7 years ago and not only do criminals and convicts have more rights and better health care in prisons that my son and I and it is not fair at all. This issue is important to me.

Appoint a executive-level & knowledgeable Chief Financial Advisor (like a CFO and free of the Treasury Dept duties). To focus on long term fiscal issues including tax streamlining; auditable Government Statements (including DoD); accurate economic indicators; and fiscal solvency of Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Would also advise President on Budget, thereby freeing President for other concerns.
