Yep I saw UTRGV and SELA on the bubble. HCU went through the tournament without a loss after the weekend they were bombed at Lamar with 2 10-run rule games. Interesting season though. It is kind of nice to have so many highly rated teams in our conference.

HCU wins the SLC tournament and the automatic entrance into the NCAA tournament. Questions that remain....where are they sent and does UTRGV maintain an RPI worthy of getting in as well? Seeing one prediction of them in and another that has them and SELA as part of the first 4 out.

G2: Calallen 4 - Liberty 2 Game 3 is tomorrow at noon

Emmanuel Hostin comes to mind.

clean hit. did not lead with his helmet

Do you really believe that? Serious question.

Well, Altuve made a liar out of me. I said he’s not a left fielder because he doesn’t have the arm. Tonight he gunned a runner down at home. The runner was slow, but the throw was on the money. Still like him better at 2nd.

The abuse is able-bodied adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s choosing not to work so they can suck off the government teat. The amazing thing is that for a long time those same folks could get income tax returns of up to $10,000. Another common fraud is filing for benefits as head of household as a “single mother” when the father lives in the house. I saw that multiple times every year when I worked in Beaumont. That said, you’re absolutely right that there is plenty of fraud perpetrated by providers. If the visit is free for the patient, do they ever really pay attention to what services the office is charging to Medicaid?

Agree. Not on Medicaid. But, Trump’s attempts to do away with ACA his first term—with no replacement—still have me worried. No one would cover my wife without the protections offered by ACA. Granted, her Parkinson’s Plus is untreatable & incurable at this time. But, Botox shots help with the paralysis/palsy & she is at higher risk for other issues that may need coverage. We pay over $2600/mo. for the privilege of having insurance cards. Still have high deductibles & co-pays. But, we’re not allowed to have a catastrophic plan by law. We do get a little of it back at tax time.

Of course that’s where you’d go. Just because I didn’t say the able bodied, you assume the worst. Yes, get up off your butt and contribute. You don’t agree? Of course not.

No, you were excited because people on Medicaid have to work at least 20bhours/week. I merely asked about those who couldn't work

I'm not saying you are. But you have to understand from my point that when the government starts talking about making cuts to programs that benefit folks like my son, I get a little worried. The government has thrown the baby out with the bath water on some occasions. That's all I am saying.

How Medicaid is being used to illegally cover illegal immigrants in multiple states: (My understanding is this is one of the ‘cuts’ that’s being addressed.) [Hidden Content]

It’s forgotten. I am not a monster.

I just thought your post was too broad. That's all. Sorry for misunderstanding.

Well, that was not what was meant, but you can take it and run with it. It was a cheap shot. I knew AAW had a special needs son and I made no reference to his son or any other handicapped individual. Big girl acted like the bill said to take kids off ventilators…..It doesn’t, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she said I approved of them being removed. That’s the way you lefty’s function. Twisting people’s words, intentionally misunderstanding, looking for that gotcha moment because you cannot argue armed with your policies. Go chant free Palestine with your hamas brothers. You know, the ones who sneak in at night and murder, rape, and behead babies. I can see how you would need to claim moral ground. My mention of working as a young teenager was to show Big Girl that some of us have initiative even at a very young stage in our lives. I made no suggestion to anyone else…..but both of you think so……SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

Go Kingwood!

4 and 4 is a LOT to be proud of! Great job Ned!

Yes, and the right wing clowns blame the poor, the minorities, and illegals. Remember the “welfare Cadillac”? Ronald Raga** started the wedge driving way back yonder in ‘80.

A lot of physicians submit fraudulent claims. We have a whole dept that is responsible for investigating providers.

Ok

Where is the abuse? Ineligible users? Medicaid, like Medicare, sets prices. Bills and payments pass between the program and providers. The fraud is perpetrated by providers, not the insureds. Given the Weasel’s record of letting business off the hook, don’t look for much fraud reduction. The reductions will come at the expense of the poor and disabled. Trump don’t care. [Hidden Content]

Congrats on a great season dogs! 4 rounds deep in both baseball and softball. Spring sport school?

Talk about a pot calling the kettle black. Look at your post, man. You dismissed the 14 year old bed bound because of child labor laws, not his disability. Follow your cheap shot logically, and a 30 disabled person not bound by child labor laws should work. Build a better argument if you don’t like getting called out.

Nederland 1 Kingwood Park 8 KP advances. Good run for Nederland
