  12. I have medicare and it does not cover dental I have a tooth bothering me and may have to pay up to 400 bucks or more . I wish they could add at least basic dental to medicare . I am a disabled vet and the military does not cover vets like me for dental coverage .

  13. I am a disabled vet spent 7 years on submarines and got messed during a torpedo reload . What nailed my income was the NAVY paid my muster out pay after I was let out. If I was paid while still active duty I would have not paid taxes. Now 8 years later the stupid IRS says I owe 42k . Now there taking money from my disabilty pay. Before they did My family was living check to check now life sucks I am being treated for depression as I thought  I would rather be dead.

  14. Lets see this is the bad news. I spent 7 years on submarines during the 80s and got hurt during a torpedo reload ruining my carrier in the NAVY. Then the NAVY made a mistake in my pay. Now I owe 42k to the irs and my family lives check to check.  I also worked for NCR for 10 years and we had the contract for Sams And Walmart . I had access to back office and I seen thing that would make your skin crawl. I will not shop in either. The only good thing I have going is I am alive.

  15. I am a disabled vet . I spent 7 years on submarines . Then when I reenlisted for another 6 years I had 2 weeks left on the submarines . Then during a torpedo reload a chain broke and it crushed me and my hopes for 25 years in. It took forever to get a operation and now they put a morphine pump in me. I have to sit at the va hospital sometimes 2 hours to get it refilled. I wish they could feel the pain I am in.

  16. I am a disabled vet spent 7 years on submarines during the 80 s. I love him as he has done a lot for vets . I tell all the vets at the va hospital to vote for him. I do not like the deal on gun checks . I won a .45 1911 made during WW2 I also have a m16 I got over seas . I do not and will not let anyone take them.

  17. Its funny I am a disabled vet was on subs 7 years. made good money as a reactor operator. I was paying my bills had sea pay sub pay and carrier sub amn sea pay.Them became disabled and now at 100% disabled I make 1/3 of what I used to make . Meds in this country are way to high . I have friends upstate 200 miles from me and they go up to canada for drugs. Just 1 of mine costs 250 bucks but up there it 15 bucks . Whats wrong with that picture.
    2
  18. I am disabled and on ssdi I worked for 45 years from the age of 10 on the books. I am a medicare and have a part d plan.  It is still cheaper for me to get my meds in canada and I have relatives who live up there and it takes longer for them to get tests done but its a lot cheaper. If they and us could take the best of both it would be great. 
    2
  19. I hate to say this but I am disabled so I get medicare but my wife who takes care of me only works 3 to 6 hours a week. She was paying 200.00 a month for health care. Now with obamacare it will go up to 499.00 . She has lost health care as we can not afford that much. So here in NY we will pay the fine and she loses health care.
    2
  20. The bad part is if they shut it down there would be rolling blackouts as there is not enough power to go around I was in the NAVY for 6 years on SUBS and was a NUCK on board I was a e-5 and was on 3 boats during which we never had any NUCK accident If they military can run all those subs with very low problems then why cant the plants keep running without problems . I worked a little while for a plant and it was ran great some plants play the game some do not.

  21. I am disabled on SSDI and am bipolar shyrofrinic the company I worked for 9.5 years in NY and they put me on long term disability and then canceled my insurance even thou I paid the cost . I almost died 2 times because of no heath care and very low money . The companys are canceling folks insurance just to save money . I pray the it changes

  22. nancy should have put her 2 cents in
    2
  23. I live in a rural area and I can not even get packages left for me I have to have someone drive me 20 miles to pick it up. I am disabled and unable to drive . I think the postal service need to step up and do a better job adding those things would really help out . They closed my local post office in my area and it really hurt the seniors and disabled folks in my area
    2
  24.  @uptick888  yep we got a raise of 5.9 but medicare is going up 14%
    2
  25. Please help pass this bill . I am disabled and cracked a tooth last month and I will be paying it off for a year!!

  26. As a disabled vet who spent 7 years on submarines and a stupid torpedo reload went wrong and a chain broke and it crushed me ruining my life and career. I have to live close to a va hospital  to refill my morphine pump. If I lived where I wanted and could use the local doc it would really help. The system sucks for us disabled vets.

  27. I am a disable vet living on a tight income for me and family I wish Bernie would tell them to control the heating oil. There doing the same thing as LP gas. This year heap was cut  to $600.00 which is a lousy 148 gallons of oil. My 21 year old son can not find a job.I was hoping for a second emergency heap . I have to choose cut my meds in 1/2 eat less just to keep the house warm for my family.
    1
  28. I can say this I spent 7 years on submarines in the NAVY . I was hurt during a torpedo reload. Now there going to cut money from the VA and doctors . I did not do that time in the NAVY so they can cut benefits to medicare VA and a few others. My family was all republicans for a long time . I was to then 5 years ago I see that there rolling over and want more for themselves. Now I am a independent voter and hope this gets more and more votes.

  29. As a disabled submarine vet with 7 years on submarines . I pray we bring all our folks back now including those on the ebola team. I can bet top dollar they will have a few get ebola . We need to close our borders now!!!~

  30. I hope He can raise the wage all across the USA . I got my biggest raise back in the NAVY . I was on submarines for 7 years . When Reagan become president we got the biggest raise than any of the jobs I every worked.

  31. I am a disabled vet and almost of the time I agree with him. But this time I have been filling out requests for the pipe line to go tru. I fill it will bring jobs and lower fuel costs. I live in the Catskills NY about 75 miles from NY. The hear last year was cut in half and we are losing more and more every year. The only way I made it almost tru yas the free 100 gallons from 1800 joe 40il . That free oil was almost worth the heap program.

  32. 1st I grew up in the coal mines and now its very clean burning now . 2 I spent 7 years in the NAVY on submarines. I was a reactor operator and got out as a E-5 IC2 (SS) Nuclear power can be very safe I went to school in Idaho and there is a small nuclear plant there that very few no about and has never had a problem. I spent time on 3 different submarines and only had some small problems. If the NAVY can do it it can be done across the USA. 3 I like Bernie very much and this is the only time I disagree with him.  The oil line would make some nice jobs and may even make gas go down in price. I know that the USA sells oil to foreign countries which should be stopped. If we kept all the fuels we make in the US prices would go way down.

  33. I spent 7 years in the NAVY I was on submarines and never had a problem. Then while doing a torpedo reload a chain broke and the torpedo crushed me. I can not drive and my wife has to drive me 70 miles to go to a VA hospital. Please build one closer to the disabled vets.

  34. I am a disabled vet spent 7 years on submarines in the 80s . I was a e-5 and during a torpedo reload test a chain broke and it swung and crushed me. I can tell you its no fun going from 43k active duty to 21k disabilty. It also hard to go to the va hospital I wait sometimes 2 hours.  I hope sanders can help us

  35. As nuclear reactor operator on submarines . I spent 7 years on 3 different subs. only had 1 problem that the NRC had to get involved with and that did not affect the outside air. Something most folks do not know a nuclear powered ships and subs dump water from the outer loop outside 300 mile from any country .I know nuclear power can be safe wish there was more . If we could find a safe place for the waste is the big problem.here a tid bit on submarine I seen cockroaches inside the reactor compartment .never did figure out how they got in there its sealed

  36. I am on social security and make the same as he said . I have 2 kids under 14 and a wife that must take care of me. I eat very little so my kids can eat. I got heap this year and it was 1/2 less than last year . I thank god the weather has been a lot warmer last year and this. I reach the dounut hole in 3 months and then I have no coverage as I can not afford my meds . I cut my meds in 1/4 to make them last . I can not tell my doctors or he would hospital me. I also wish we could get a $500> chk

  37. Thank you Bernie go man go!
    1
  38. I am on social security and now they want to lower heap I can not afford heating with heap they give you 698 bucks and in the new england area that buys you 150 gallon of oil to last all winter . I have to live in a house with a temp of 55 degrees and if not I will run out of oil and day now I hope to get the 100 gallons free from 1800joe for oil if not for him I will run out

  39. I am a older disabled person and do not have a drive license all I have is my old NAVY id from when I was honorable discharge years ago. The do not take it as a ID and I thing it is a scam trying to make every body who does not have one can not vote.
    1
  40. the 3.5 trillion part of medicare does not start for years .
    1
  41. No raise for the last 2 years now probley no raise next year I know my drugs have to be splt to make them last and some meds can not be split . Its a sorry state
    1
  42. There are dental problems all over the USA . I now in NY it me I have medicare but it does not cover dental at all . I looked for Dental Universities none within 100 miles and I am disabled unable to drive.
    1
  43. I am a disabled vet and on ssdi . They want to cut both . I pray the Bernie gets it fixed. I have heard that SSDI will run out of money in 8 years.
    1
  44. I hate to say this but as a NAVY submarines disabled vet . I think that if we strike syria then Jordan and others will strike Israel then it will be WW3 . The only safe place will be on a submarine which I wish I was still on.
    1
  45. There is now way I would vote for Romny I had always been a republican as was my dad grand day . I become a disabled Vet and after spending 7 years on submarines I was hurt during a torpedo reload accident > The damn chain broke and it was found to be made in China and marked 20 ton when in reality it was 5 ton. I would never vote for someone who would buy parts from China !!
    1
  46. They must do a better job at not losing folks mail it has been a problem and getting worse . It also be great to get fishing hunting license. I know with berni on the job he will correct the problem.
    1
  47. Yes they want to cut medicare remove some money from heap make meds more cost for the elderly and disabled . I know some that had to cut back on there meds where coats over sweater since heap only give 500 which only buys 159 gallons of fuel oil they should change it to get enough oil to last at least 1/2 the season thats not asking much and they want to reduce the little they get now. Please stop the cuts!!!
    1
  48. As a disabled vet I do see the government is trying to hurt us further. I spent 7 years on submarines and got hurt right before I was to reenlist for 6 more years. A lot of folks do not know that when you leave the military on permanently disabled you lose all your special pays . I was getting sea pay sub pay carrier sub and sea pay Master diver pay and a few others . It is a bad system and causes a lot like me are on food stamps.
    1
  49. It is a real shame that the cut the Heap program I know folks that are leaving the temp down to 50 degrees and I have mine set at 55 do to not getting enough oil . I am in upstate NY and got 475.00 for heap and that was a lousy 122 gallons of oil . They should give more or base it on gallons of oil instead of money . We could get 300 gallons or more.
    1
  50. Yep the working class I worked on the books from the age of 12 to the age of 45 when in the US NAVY I was hurt pretty bad . That ruined my life as I wanted to be a lifer in the NAVY . I lost all my specials pays as any vet who is disabled we get base pay only . I also now seniors who make a decisions meds or food . I wish Bernie would run for pres I would vote for him
    1
  51. man I wish one of those would open upstate NY I hate keep going to the hospital and the emergency centers want money up front just to see you.
    1
  52. I just hope that the pres reads them
    1
  53. Please protect the social security and the VETS . Cuts will couse folks to die!
    1
  54. Bernie should be president but he was ripped off .
    1
  55. Do a big check for all the folks on social security . I know the HEAP program was cut and it caused a lot of problems for them on that program.
    1
  56. Bad part is we have plenty of coal wind and sun and fuel for Nuck power. Bad part is no one wants them put near there house . I wanted to put up a wind mill ans solar panels but the local or dances said no even thou I own 10 acres and it was only going to be on 1/2 acre. I hope Bernie can get these changed.
    1
  57. Come on please fight for the close the donut hole for medicare part d . It is killing seniors
    1
  58. I had a chase credit card and I am a disabled vet . I had around 1500 on the card with a 3000 limit . I always made payments on time but I missed one payment got a letter closing my account because I was a high risk and now they want the balance paid off . As far as I am concerned they will never get a dime I do not care if it ruins my credit rating . Chase disrespects disabled VETS !!!!
    1
  59. I got heap bad part I am a disabled vet and I got the most that you can get in NY a lousy 475 bucks of oil. That means I get 122 gallons of oil. That will not last a month as I got it in NOV. Lucky I got a extra 100 gallons free from 1800 joe 4 oil which will last me until jan.
    1
  60. Please close the stupid donut hole . It is killing many seniors who are cutting there meds into pieces and take them to try to save. That means they are not taking near what the doctors are prescribing.
    1
  61. My laptop is a old dell 2500 I saved up for 6 months it cost 25 bucks that was my present for 1 year . I have no other electronics except a 20 inch tube tv I got free . I wear coats inside so to not run out of oil . I am lucky I can close off rooms and just keep the house warm for my family .
    1
  62. GO, Bernie!!!!!
    1
  63. As a disabled vet my wife has to take of me . Living in a wheelchair is not a great life if you spent 7 years in the NAVy on submarines . A stupid chain broke while we were doing a torpedo reload a chain broke sending it crushing me . The chain mis marked in china saying it was 50 ton when it was 5 ton. The NAVY paid 1k for the chain what do I get 24k a year and so many drugs I can't count . Yes sometimes I think its not worth it .
    1
  64. Damn the gas here in upstate ny is 4.10 for regular gas . GO bernie and get the gas lower please run for pres-dint!!!!
    1
  65. He should mention the bill that got sneaked thru with this 6 person committee crap. I can see it now once they get going its going to bet cuts for all vets medicare will have more deductibles and many more cuts to the folks that are barley making it now
    1
  66. The bad part is him getting on the committee is slim and none and slim just left town!
    1
  67. I am a disabled vet from 1985 I spent 7 years in the NAVY on submarines and during a torpedo reload at a tender the chain which was from China was miss labeled from a 10 ton to 50 ton. I could not sue as in the US military you are a piece of property. I had over 7 operations. I wanted to be a lifer but the doctor said my body could not stand up to any NAVY job. I then went to work with NCR I worked tru the pain for 9.5 years then I was hit by a van while working on a ATM. I then had 4 docs say
    1
  68. I pray that they do change the system . I am a senior and disabled , I live out side a village and unable to drive So I am unable to get the free help in the village one a day they make a small boxed meals but you have to pick them up in person . If they would let a friend pick it up it would be great .
    1
  69. I agree whole harted make them sell made in America or take all there funding away after all its a American company in the main DC area.

  70. @justcallmeassinine I live in zip code 12428 and have looked around and can not find one with in 70 miles . Do you know any near ellenville ny? I am disabled and on ssdi and take a lot of meds so maybe I am unsure on how do a search. Thanks
    1
  71. I sure hope he gets in the problem with SSDI going broke in 8 years.I am a disabled vet and also on ssdi I have read that SSDI will be broke and Vets disability may go broke also.
    1
  72. Yes he has great ideas but I bet you top dollar he will not get his way and so far everything he has said is great but less the 50% of his wants have been shot down. I wish they would give social security a raise but alas they will say no inflation this year and will not give them the $250.00 that was said to happen.
    1
  73. I am bi polar and have diabetes type 2 . I take seraquel 2 times a day this is just on of my drugs it costs 1025 per 60 pills . With just this this drug I reach the donuts hole in 3 months and how am I supposed to pay over 1200 bucks when I live on check to check . Please close that damn donuts hole or at least reduce the cost that I can afford .
    1
  74. Yes it would be nice to have better heath-care than Medicare as it does not pay for dental or eye care . I live in NY and if I moved to Vermont I would have better heath care
    1
  75. I agree I and on social security after paying in the system for 40 years and I can not afford heating oil in the north east I got heap and it pays only 698 bucks which buys a wopping 160 gallons of fuel . Heap should pay for gallons amount not a flat rate money amount . IF the y cut it down I am sure me and my friends will cut down on meds and other needs. After all no raise for 2 years and no $250.00 that was promised
    1
  76. Thats weird I was in the NAVY for 7 years on Submarines that were built in the 60s 2 of which had mk1 reactors on them and when I was on board had the records and very few problems on board as I was a NUCK and operated the reactor, If they had NAVY submarine NUCKS taking care of them I am sure there would be a lot less perfect . Every reactor has problems after many years of use but there are repairs to make them safe again. .
    1
  77. I know I pay 96 bucks for a medicare part d plan and after just 3 refills of seroquel I reach the donut which I have no coverage and have to put out 2k bucks till I reach the the catastrophic part of the plan . So even with 50% off my seraquel I must pay 500 buck each month until I reach the plan . I can not believe the no plan covers the dounut part of medications . Even with my plan I still have to pay 77.00 for each month . And yes 77.00 is lot of money for me and family
    1
  78. I tried and wrote him in to be president. I am a disabled vet who has no legs.I now have several mental problems . i am lucky to live in a town that has a hot line for just talking at any time
    1
  79. Man please move to NY our senators suck compared to you.
    1
  80. I am disabled playing the game and trying to live off it . I have medicare and I got sick last month and was in the hospital 4 times and once 5 days. I had a bunch of tests . I had a TSA stroke. I am now getting the bills .I will never be able to pay them off . My %20.00 is over 4k not much for some folks but a small fortune for me. I also think a better COLA raise I know everything I buy had gone way up. I also think they need to close the drug donut hole.
    1
  81. I am 49 worked since I was 11 and paid into the system I made over a million dollars before I became totally disabled and get a pittance of $1700 with 2 kids . There has been no raise for us in 2 years at least and no $250.00 the was promised to us . Give hell Bernie
    1
  82. And another bad fact is that FEMA is going broke they do not have the funds to cover even 20 % of the cost to help folks or states.
    1
  83. I wish my village would allow wind power . Where I live no wind power can be set up with in the village lines. They want us to use power from wind the first step is to allowed them to me set up every where.
    1
  84. The problem with the cut to military spending is we are in 2 wars still we are winding on 1 . I spent 7 years in the NAVY on submarines . I know guys and gals in the service now that are on food stamps which is a sad thing. I know if the do bring them home from the wars there will be a lot more in the unemployment line . I was in nuclear power on the subs and I found it some what hard.
    1
  85. I am a disabled VET and spent 7 years on submarines loved it spent over 4 years under the sea. I was crushed by a torpedo during a reload . If I had not gotten hurt I would have still been in . I wish they would open more in NY it takes me over and hour to drive to the closest one.
    1
  86. Both many folks complained that the windmill would take away from the grand view . I am in the Catskills NY . They also said there would be blinding light at time during the day They said it would have light reflective into there homes. It was outlawed by the village folks at a meeting and more than 70% when we voted .
    1
  87. Let him loose all his money then try living on social security . The let him have to go then the stupid doughnut hole where he has to put out money he does not have . Then he would see how its really is.
    1
  88. I am a disabled vet after spending 7 years in the NAVY on submarines . I live in the catskills area and there is no veteran places for over 50 miles . I wish they could have as many as Vermont has but I am sure it would not be enough.
    1
  89. Yes I worked 40 years from the age of 12 I payed in the system at the age of 43 I was hit in the rear by a full sized van at 55mph I made over 150k a year now I get a whole 1300 bucks with a family wife has to take care of me. I can see it now 3.6 raise and a 3.% raise in medicare just one of my meds after 2 months I reach the doughnut hole . I can bet top dollar this raise will end up costing us more than the raise.
    1
  90. I get heap as I am a disabled vet this year I get 450 bucks and that only buys 160 gallons of oil . They need to change it from a money plan to a set amount of oil IE 300 gallons of oil instead of 450 bucks it would help us out a lot.
    1
  91. Please close the donut hole in medicare part d it is also killing seniors.
    1
  92. I am on SSDI and medicare with just 1/2 of my drugs I reach the donut hole and I already split my pills 1/4 for every one I do not get XR types just so I can split them .It is stupid to pay twice as much for xr than a normal pill if it was the same cost I could afford them for at least 6 months.
    1
  93. I am a disabled vet and its a real shame that there are a lot of us on food stamps, I love Bernie and wish he was our president a lot more folks would be better off .
    1
  94. Go Bernie Go!!!!
    1
  95. No raise for the second year is terrible and now the worst is no $250.00 for them . I know in my area prices are rising meds are going up and doctors are dropping Medicare patents
    1
  96. I worked since I was 12 and paid in to the system from that age to now retirement on social security and the cola is a joke I know my costs have gone up I even served my country in the NAVY 7 years on submarines and they want to make vets pay more They should give us a 9% raise and leave the vets alone
    1
  97. Yes do not cut out HEAP program either !
    1
  98. If it was to shut down the plant right now the power prices would jump over 50 percent . I bet if they put it to a vote and listed on there that the power bills would go up 50 % I bet you anything they would never vote to shut it down
    1
  99. As I am disabled paid in the system for over 30 years made 80k a year an now I get 1500 a month for me and my family. There has been no raise for 2 years and we never got the $250.00 that they said se would get . Now they want to cut mediocre heap I know people that have to choose between food and Heating oil .
    1
  100. Yep by the time hes done all of us will get 8k for our insurance and he and he qronies will be the only ones to be able to go to the hospital or doctors . Now he will not stand in line because most of us will not want to go because we have no coverage.
    1
  101. I hope they can do a lot more as there are also a lot of problems I can send a letter from my post office to some one 10 miles away and it takes 4 days. I get priority packages that were to be delivered within 3 days and yet it takes 5 days. I have heard this problem at alot of places.
    1
  102. I am disabled on medicare and just had to pay 222 bucks for a 15min dental fix. It may not seem much to some folks but it a lot to me.
    1
  103. Yes its great but no raise for 2 years and no $250.00 for those poor people I know my elderly friends are hurting .
    1
  104. I hope he gets them to revers the cut on the HEAP program They cut it by 50% and it will cause a lot of folks to make a hard decided food or heating oil.

  105. I was in the NAVY for 7 years on subs as a NUKE and I think they need to fire those guys and the folks that work there . If hey had better owners a new crew from folks that were in the nuck field in the military upgrade the systems there are a few older plants in the US with the same type of core and they are running great . We need to get in gear or soon there will be rolling blackouts

  109. Yes the problem is that all the American products are 5 times higher costs than the other makers I bet the rosie the riveter which cost 5 bucks made in china costs 15 bucks if made in the USA . We need to match the prices to be profitable .

  110. As a disabled vet who spent 7 years on submarines and had just re enlisted for 4 more years . We were doing a torpedo reload and a chain broke causing it to swing and crush my spine. There went my life right out the window . Now instead of being retired from the NAVY living a nice life . Instead my family lives on food stamps I have terrible credit and sometimes wish I was dead . Va hospitals just give us the run around . I pray that he helps our vets and hospitals

  111. I can bet this much that bill will never go tru I am a disabled vet and was watching the Vet job bill that would have really helped folks like me . I could do simple things but right now there is no one to take the chance. They stuck crap on the bill so it had no chance of winning. I also know seniors who like me must make a choice food or meds .

  114. How about a better raise for us on social security we have not had a raise in over 2 years and now the raise will not cover the cost of living . I know Bernie wil fight for us and I hope he can get out heap raise back and stop the cuts.

I asked for a 2nd option and found a great doc . He stopped there stupid meds and got me on the right ones. Thanks GOD

  118. They do not have to cut social security as every since regan was in office the presidents have borrowed from it . It is a little known fact but true and it has been used to cut some of the deficit.

  119. Medicare part d sucks I reach the donuts hole after 3 month . I am on 12 prescriptions and just one costs 1.50 per pill . I know a lot of seniors in the same spot and me and them split pills to try to save money then we go in the hospital because we did not take enough meds . SO which is cheaper putting us in the hospital or closing the hole?

  121. Its a shame by the time they get to the age to vote most will not as they really do not know how important a vote is . I am a disabled vet and I have seen a single vote win a few elections

  122. Yes it is great I am on it and yet no raise for 2 years is terrible I know my meds have gone thru the roof and my fuel food and lots of things have gone up over the last 2 years . I think we should at least have $250.00 and a 2% raise .

  123. I am 50 just have medicare and I think I have a cracked tooth I live check to check and have no money to get it fixed . I wish medicare would cover it .I have no idea how I am going to get it fixed maybe just pull it. I live in upstate ny. There are no free ones around me.
    1
  124. Yes we may get a raise but I bet there will be a least a 3 percent raise on medicare which will mean we end up getting a .6 raise It would be great if no raise is medicare cost and a 10 % raise plus a 500.00 buck check tax free for all of us.

  129. I am a vet and jobs are very hard to find 2nd I am disabled on ssdi and medicare part d it sucks that just 1 of my meds reach the donut hole in 3 months . I am on 12 different meds and can not afford to take what I am supposed to take I am like a lot of seniors and cut my meds in 1/3 or more . I have to make sure I do not get ER meds as those can not be split . Close that stupid hole and give us a better raise and stiphen

  136. I am on medicare just one of the meds I am on costs 1029.00 bucks medicare plan part d cost me 97 bucks and I will meet the doughnut hole after 3 months so now I have to pay 3000 for my meds until I meet the doughnut hole like I have the money to pay that kind of money .

  138. As I continue all the docs said I could no longer work at all . I had worked from the age of 14 on the books for social security so I paid my fair share . I am now 50 and my last operation was a 2nd major fusion repair and the doc walked out after and told my wife I had passed away but was brought and the worst part it affected my brain and I am now Bipolar and syco . He also said I will never be able walk right or ver far at all. I COMMEND YOU FOR NOT BE DISABLED I WISH I HAD YOUR LIFE!!!

  139. I too am disabled I can not afford to have my neck surgery where I have 3 ruptured discs . I had the low back done and with Medicare I still owe over 20k. I also am bipolar and schizophrenic and take meds that cost so much I met the stupid dough-nut hole in 1 month so I have to cut meds into 4ths . Just try to get along with the small amount you get, I worked from age 12 till 46 when I was hit I was making over `100k a year now ssdi 1k with 2 kids and wife that takes care of me.

  140. I got liheap this year and it was 700.00 bought only 198 gallons of oil . They should not cut it off but increases I am disabled and have to leave my thermostat on 60 most of the time or I will run out of oil sometime in February and now I can not get anymore as the plan only allows for 2 payments which does not pay for enough oil . Please fight for more liheap I have tried calling 1877 joe4 oil with no luck getting thru

  141. It sad to say but I worked on NUCK reactors when I was in the US NAVY . We never had a medium accident just small ones . None released any radiation if we did everyone in the sub work be hurt. I think the need to have more and make them hardened so no planes or missile can hurt them . Put NAVY guys in charge of it and plenty of power.

  142. I am a disabled Vetern spent 7 years in the NAVY on submarines. I was messed up by a torpedo during a reload at port . A chain broke and it crushed me.
