Social Security Disability continued
One of my friends just sent me the link to Chana Joffe-Walt’s observations. It is at http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/. You need to review the article to more fully understand the abuse to which the Social Security and Medicare funds are subject. Not only do we need to review the current 8,000,000 disabled workers on this program over the next 4 years as I suggested on Friday but we also need to shore up the Hearings by the Administrative Law Judges that hear appeals of rejected disability claims. This is the easiest route to win disability benefits. In these proceedings, there is no one representing the tax payor-just the claimant or their representative and the judge. We need to hire lawyers to represent the tax payers to insure a fairer and more reasonable set of decisions made in these proceedings.
