&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in;"&gt;I am very pleased with the thought
and don&amp;rsquo;t feel like adding anything in it. It&amp;rsquo;s a perfect answer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After being turned away for my wife, because we both collect SSI and her part time job makes 500 per month, and we are ineligible because we collectively make 100 dollars more than they consider livable anything you can do to make it easier for people to become insured without a 1600.00 per month medical write down is a blessing to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We even offered to pay a premium to let her &amp;quot;buy&amp;quot; into the system but that is not allowed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is very frustrating to go to the FIA office and watch people that cant even speak English park their new cars and walk in and get benefits, while people like us go to get some help because there is no insurance company that will insure my wife without a 700.00 a month fee, and get turned down, while all of our lives we have paid into these government programs thru our taxes etc, and cant get even a minimal amount of help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Someone must have or should have written a book on how to scam the system, and we just didnt get the memo.&lt;/p&gt;
