[nfb-talk] blind and wanting to improve things, not get labeled

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

Actually, while I work being self employed and under employed I do receive 
them and over the years dealt with over payments and the like. I also have 
had to deal with not being able to be covered by supplemental Medicare 
coverage and having to pay the 20% copayment for uncovered coverage meaning 
that I have had to make choices regarding preventative care at times. 
Fortunately, I'm healthy and have not experienced any problems to speak of. 
Of course, it is much more difficult for SSI recipients that have to deal 
with the constraints of Medicaid eligibility and share of cost issues if 
their income goes over the amount covered. I'm not sure what your question 
is. I do believe however, that having dealt with private agencies that play 
favoritism in delivery of services the uniformity of Federal guidelines 
works much better.
