    Even with higher than average tax dollars taken in - Medicaid short $7 Billion

    Part of the reason Medicaid in #NYS is being over whelmed - is because of illegal immigrants getting benefits. If you have a valid NYS drivers licence you can apply for and receive Social Security disability.

    - Thousands have applied and now get SS disability even though they never worked here or paid into the system.

    So among other tax funded benefits like food - housing and even healthcare - they now can come here and get tax funded medicaid !

    #NYS according to the NYS comptrollers office will have a $7 Billion dollar gap ! So #Cuomo wants the Counties to make it up for him.

    Hey 4248, want an eye opener. Go down to the Social Security office in the morning for the daily meeting of the western New York chapter of the Arab League.

    Many are - as I stated before (December 9th, 2019) - signing up and collecting "Social Security Disability" - you dont need to be a citizen or have paid into the system to be eligible. Its a new little trick they are told about by the agencies that help locate them. President Trump is trying to end this assault of our system !

    MY question is why do we have elected officials including a political party in NYS that promote this practice?

    Another good question might be how come no one is held accountable for these decisions.

    The federal level has rules/laws/guidelines - then you get a party playin state level politician disregarding or fighting those guidelines for purely political reasons.

    The true sin is when that same politicians only answer for budget problems is "we need higher taxes and more federal aid to balance our budget" - who created the trouble - who's playin politics with our lives and our tax dollars ?

    Just askin -
