It's such a complicated topic. There are people who truly benefit from the system and then there is abuse, too. I've been on both sides of it. I used to work for a company whose best customers were welfare moms planning purchases around their checks. Now I assist someone who it if weren't for the system would be destitute or close. I get really frustrated in that the ER is her only option for any kind or urgent care; there really is something wrong with that. I see the smart phones and $100 shoes also, and I don't know how some people do it.
