Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

A couple of months back I heard on a news program that a woman who had received a heart transplant was getting kicked off Social Security disability rolls because she no longer qualified. It didn`t matter that her condition varied from day to day and that her anti-rejection medication bill was astronomical.

To this woman and others like her who are in need of Social Security assistance, I have a bit of news.

I knew of an obvious case of Social Security fraud and reported it. I even offered to provide proof. The Social Security Administration`s response was, basically, ”mind your own business.”

They must be too busy harassing organ transplant patients.
