Reply #14: I don't think so - we have a whole community of aging Russians [View All]

getting benefits like Medicaid and Social Security in our community in Massachusetts. They were brought over by their children who immediately get mom and dad on the state benefits and in subsidized housing. I work for an agency that provides services to elders in the community, so I know of which I speak.
There are a lot of Americans who could benefit from these programs but are a few dollars a month too high to qualify. It really burns me up sometimes, especially as the Russians' kids are unwilling to help their parents out in any way, they expect the state to provide everything.
And no flames, please, I'm a raging liberal.
