That needs to be overhauled as well. Too many using that system and they are nothing but drug addicts. I don't want to hear about your anxiety, many of us have that. I don't care your ass hurts you, deal with it I know somone on it for 20 yrs, because he has social issues. BALONEY. If I can get over my issues, so can you.
My grandma is friends with a lady whose son went through a sex change. He gets disability because he cant deal with the public or some BS like that.

I hate the idea that parents get this for their children. It's supposed to be their jobs to pay for their kids. I'm not against medical at all but there's no reason to me that they need cash to pay for what they brought into the world.
SSI for children is to pay for expenses that are past what a normal child would cost. Not every insurance will cover treatments, hospitalizations, copays, gas expenses, plane/train/bus tickets, etc. There are many times were families lose everything because their children get sick. This is why SSI is important.

While I do agree that it does appear that there are quite a few who do not need it and get it, what about those that do truly need it?
The one who brought up children.....what about children with extreme special needs? Depending on the needs of the child, it could bankrupt the family completely. What are they supposed to do, give up their kid to an institution?
