Child Abuse: Just One Story

Child Abuse Introduction

Every Day problems that people with disabilities have?

1. An everyday problem that qualified HC Parking PWDs (myself included) face is that some Non-PWDs (PWODs) (Outsiders) ILLEGALLY park in Handicapped Parking Spaces or in Handicapped Parking Access Aisles for various reasons. I have always seen this happen whenever I am out and about!

Would like to see Handicapped Parking Spaces locked gated areas to be implemented throughout USA. Locked gate would require usage of a national secret number code to open the gate and to allow access to Handicapped Parking.

2. An everyday problem that legitimate Disabled PWDs (myself included) face is the there are some Non-PWDs (PWODs) (Outsiders) that pretend that they are Disabled and they scam the SSA and get SSI and / or SSDI under the false pretenses of being Disabled which takes away needed resources from PWDs that are legitimate Disabled.

Would like to see a national federal PWD Registry Agency to be established that would register and certify all PWDs to establish the fact that a person is a legitimate Person With Disabilities (PWD). All national registered PWDs would be given a federal PWD identification card in which the registered PWD would need to show in order to apply for SSI and /or SSD which will help prevent scamming of the SSA.

3. An everyday problem that legitimate Disabled PWDs (myself included) face is the there are PWDs with MILD Disabilities that get SSI and /or SSDI which takes away needed resources from PWDs that are legitimate Disabled. These PWDs should be taken off SSI and / or SSDI and not be allowed to repeatedly keep applying for SSI and / or SSD.

Would like to see the same national federal PWD Registry Agency to be established that would register PWDs with MILD Disabilities. Any PWD with MILD Disabilities that applied for SSI and or SSDI or is receiving SSI and / or SSDI would be put on a list by the SSA and to sent to the national federal PWD Registry agency for action to be taken against the PWD by fining the PWD $100,000 fine and a 1 year federal prison sentence due to the fact that SSI and SSDI is for SEVERE Disabilities only. The national federal PWD Registry agency would automatically take action to take the PWD with MILD Disabilities off of SSI and /or SSDI and send the PWD to State Vocational Rehabilitation for appropriate services to help the PWD to acquire a job after prison sentence is served. The national federal PWD Registry agency would also automatically take action to send the PWD with MILD Disabilities that applied for SSI and /or SSDI to State Vocational Rehabilitation for appropriate services to help the PWD to acquire a job after prison sentence is served.

should the united states have a national health care system?

Absolutely. We cannot afford to be spending 17% of GDP on total health care expenditures without becoming a nation that is unable to compete with other nations that do not have an employer based health care insurance system.

There would be no shortage of medicines. treatments, rehabilitation and med-flights under a national health care system. Instead, sick people would have normalized single physician care, which is the single greatest predictor of superior health care. One doctor (or medical group) who knows you inside and out because he or she treats you on a regular basis. And people who previously were only treated when they were acutely ill and showed up in ERs at a cost to taxpayers of millions of dollars per day nationwide, would be admitted to hospitals for treatment and medical procedures just like you and I would saving some billions of of dollars annually. They would also have regular discounted access to medications, which would also save some billions of dollars.

This would not result in physician shortages, at least not necessarily. It would require more nurse practitioners to assist in the evaluation of patients, but that would free up more physicians for diagnosis and treatment of patients more efficiently and at a lower cost since the office staff would now have a greater proportion of individuals providing direct health care and fewer "supporting" the efforts of primary health care providers.

Lastly, most critics overlook the fact that in this time of communicable disease and epidemics those who do not have access to regular health care become the most likely carriers of communicable diseases and epidemics. As better vaccines and more effective drugs lead to better medical treatments it is imperative that these medicines and treatments reach these potential carriers and cut down the transmission of diseases. That alone will result in enormous savings in terms of costs and health outcomes year after year after year.

There are many excellent reasons to favor a national health care system over employer based health insurance coverage. It will result in better health outcomes more broadly and it will also save billions that would can be saved, invested, spent or used for debt reduction by Americans, in addition to making American businesses more competitive in the global marketplace in which they are forced to compete against foreign businesses that enjoy a significantly lower cost structure.

The critics are wrong. They fear change even though it is quite evident that the free market can never deliver high quality health care to everyone while the cost of that limited coverage will continue to grow beyond the ability of individuals and businesses and state, local and federal governments to afford health insurance coverage that becomes more expensive and less comprehensive every year while our foreign competitors are not similarly inhibited.

Good luck with your paper.
