Bravo to most of not all of the above posters,I live on a street with 10 houses on it, out of those there are 4 “disabled” households, that as far as I can see have nothing wrong with them except laziness. Lets cut out the fraud first,and have trained persons evaluate the deadbeats, so those who are truly disabled can keep the benefits they need.

Drugs,not disabled
Drunks, not disabled
Lazy, not disabled
Depresssed, not Disabled
And the list goes on instead of the folks that truly are in need.What a system we have eroded to,then on the other hand we in government spend what we do not have and have developed a sense of entitlement ourselves as we sit on our rears in Frankfort and collect money we have not earned. scary…

The leaches that are overcharging the state for services need to be shut down.
It seems they go unchallenged and charge outrageous prices, and even create fictional charges to pad their billing.
Who is minding th store? Think of the savings and services that the truly disabled would get if not for all the unabated cheaters.

Too many peopole receive checks who are not truly diabled! My son has cerebral palsy and at 47 he has worked since he was 17 and NEVER received a “check”…except his pay check. He went to work after he broke his hip and knee.
Too many medical procedures are done on people with Medicaid that are not necessary. Some people on Medicaid sit in the doctor’s offices half their life unnecessarily!
The medicaid program needs to be monitored better.
Those who deserve it should have it. Those doctors who abuse the system should go to jail. It is that simple.

874,000 disabled people in Kentucky’s population of approximately 4.2 million? That’s 21% of the population! What has happened to this state? Is it that easy to get a disability claim approved? I’m just plainly shocked and sickened by this abuse of the public dole.

working people will eventually move out of state because
1. they could not stand to support huge number of non working people.
2. few good jobs in Kentucky because of policies.
3. Kentucky tax code and other policies discourage working.
The result? only senior, poor, and disabled left.

If the state would remove any “disabled” person, who is convicted of drug offenses from their disablilty services we could continue to help those who deserve it !!!!

Am I reading wrong? 874,000 are disable, Kentucky has only 4 millions people. one quater of population is disable. What a disable state. But it is easy to understand if Kentucky politicians have disabilities on their heads. Kentucky needs outsourcing governor and legislator jobs to India or Haiti to save this poor state from …
