Under President Obama millions of Americans were allowed to obtain Medicaid and Disability.  As a matter of fact many were signed up with what could be described as gaming the system to get FREE ****!!!!!!  I hope they do not take the truly needy recipients off Disability or Medicaid but I do hope our government goes after the FREELOADERS!!!!  

Over 90 million Americans are NOT working.  That’s crazy.  i am 64 years old and will work as long as I am able.  Work is not a bad thing. Some of those who are gaming the system should try it.
