Voting Question: Would Veterans be willing to give up their lavish benefit packages in order to help balance the budget?
(Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:03:52 GMT)
Why or why not?
"The system that automatically awards disability benefits to some veterans because of concerns about Agent Orange seems contrary to efforts to control federal spending, the Republican co-chairman of President Barack Obama's deficit commission said Tuesday.
Former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson's comments came a day after The Associated Press reported that diabetes has become the most frequently compensated ailment among Vietnam veterans, even though decades of research has failed

Resolved Question: My grandma is having trouble with her diabetes. Help?
(Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:55:48 GMT)
She is 63 years old, and a type 2 diabetic. For the past day or so, her blood sugar has dipped into the 40's, when it's usually in the 130's. The medicine she's been taking for it is Duetact(100mg), which I think is in the same family as Actos. About 2 weeks ago, she had major abdominal surgery(removing infected hernia mesh) and has been on a slow but steady recovery. The new drugs she's on for that are Vicodin, Xanex, and Clindamycin(an antibiotic)

Resolved Question: Is diabetes considered a disability in Canada?
(Thu, 12 Aug 2010 03:21:35 GMT)
Hello, I am working on my OSAP application for school, and I was wondering if diabetes is considered a life long disability in Canada, or by the government. I mean, when my blood sugar is low, I HAVE to stop what I am doing, and get some sugar. Or, if I am having high blood sugars, I pee often, and drink a lot of water etc. And with both of those comes things like comas, and blurred vision, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. This all has a huge impact on my studies during the school year.

I can't find a straight up list of what legally qualifies as a disability anywhere, and I was thinking this might make the list. I'm unemployed and in need of assistance, but I've been denied aid from a lot of places, because I'm in that tricky 18 to 26 age group where I'm considered an adult so I'm denied coverage by my parent's insurance, yet considered a dependent and denied by everyone else because my father makes too much money.

And do they take age into consideration, such as a nineteen year old, who has had type 1 diabetes for five years?
Pretty much what I am asking is if one could apply for Medicaid that has Type 1 Diabetes and is nineteen years old (Nineteen is when
