That's what Social Security's disability benefit was established to address - to help Americans with legitimate assistance for a legitimate disability. But in the Age of Obama, a president who has never met a government program not worthy of expanding (think of his ending the work requirement in the 1996 welfare reform law), America is being "fundamentally transformed" into a dependency nation, and the disability program is just the latest tool the president and his Big Government allies are using to fleece taxpayers and buy more voters. Per National Public Radio: In the past three decades, the number of Americans who are on disability has skyrocketed. The rise has come even as medical advances have allowed many more people to remain on the job, and new laws have banned workplace discrimination against the disabled. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1365787895 April 11, 2013 Bankruptcy now looming for another social help program The stories are many, and this is just one: It seems there was a psychiatrist who reported about a woman who was “disabled” when a casino money cart fell on her leg in Reno. She still managed to play basketball, crawl about under her car, carry heavy groceries and tote luggage around. But she developed a limp and used a cane just in time for a hearing on her disability benefits. There currently are 14 million Americans on disability payments, up from 4.3 million in 1990. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1354984767 Dec. 4, 2012       l                 Even after Marie Freyre died alone in a nursing home 250 miles from the family in North Tampa that loved her, Marie's mother had to fight to bring her home. In March 2011, state child protection investigators took 14-year-old Marie from her mother, Doris Freyre, claiming Doris' own disabilities made it almost impossible for her to care for Marie, who suffered from seizures and severe cerebral palsy. But a Tampa judge signed an order that Marie be returned to her mother, with in-home nursing care around the clock. Florida health care administrators refused to pay for it, although in-home care can be demonstrably cheaper than care in an institution. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1352911366 Nov. 12, 2012 When you think about it, there is a great deal out there that we can’t see.

Spencer West lost both of his legs at age 5 due to a congenital disorder, but that didn't prevent him from climbing Africa's tallest mountain at an impressive pace. In just seven days, West made it from his base camp at 6,552 feet to the summit of Kilimanjaro, which stands 19,340 feet above sea level. On some occasions, where the terrain would not permit West to climb on his hands, he used a custom wheelchair with mountain-bike style treads on the tires. However, for the majority of his journey, he moved along on his hands, with only a pair of gloves protecting him from the harsh terrain. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1335368839 April 25, 2012 (NaturalNews) Technology is a wonderful thing in most cases, but sometimes doing things the old-fashioned way is not only better, it's safer too. To wit, a new study found that babies conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) - when a mother's egg is fertilized outside her body then transplanted to her womb - are more at risk for birth defects. According to a review of scores of studies by Zhibin Hu at Nanjing Medical University in China, babies conceived that way, or by using intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) - in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg - are one-third more likely, or 37 percent, to be born with problems or malformations. Researchers, whose findings were published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, could not find a logical reason why technology seemed to cause the additional incidents of birth defects, or even if technology was responsible. Still, in examining 46 separate bodies of research on IVF, which has been available to women for more than 30 years and which has often been the subject of research, found that in terms of having "normal" babies, replacing technology with the natural child-bearing process produces more kids with more physical and mental problems and limitations. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1331322402 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1324920181 Dec. 23, 2011 A 15-year-old was shot and killed by Atlanta area police days before Christmas 2011 http://www.ajc.com/news/gwinnett/teen-with-machete-shot-1264925.html - (Eight links in this post) What happened to their Tasers?

In his article, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, he explains that taking these children away from their natural parents and putting them in foster care might, as a "last resort," be the most ethical choice. His article expresses concern about the over-use of bariatric surgery on children and teens, and he's looking for an alternative solution that would help these children avoid surgery, which is dangerous and sometimes even deadly. His suggestion that the state might take these children away from their parents in some cases, however, strikes many people as over-the-top outlandish, especially given the truth that state foster care workers are, for the most part, obese people themselves! Dr. Ludwig is a practicing physician as Boston's Children's Hospital, where he no doubt sees an endless stream of obese children come and go. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1306806804 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1302716254 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1298340901 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1298146167 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1295631170 TUCSON --Less than two weeks after she was shot in the head, Rep.

Now the Pentagon's whiz kids at DARPA have turned to optogenetic brain implants that use light pulses to control brain cells, and hopefully reroute brain activity, Wired's Danger Room reports. Such brain implants made from electrodes or optical fibers would sit on the brain's surface and monitor the electrical signals sent among neurons. They would also beam light pulses to stimulate specific parts of the brain in response, and ideally help the brain function normally despite having damaged areas.

The court ruled 6-3 Monday in favor of a teenage boy from Oregon whose parents sought to force their local public school district to pay the $5,200 a month it cost to send their son to a private school. Federal law calls for school districts to reimburse students or their families for education costs when public schools do not have services that address or fulfill the students' needs. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the nation's special education students are entitled to a "free and appropriate public education." Schools have argued that the law says parents of special education students must give public special education programs a chance before seeking reimbursement for private school tuition. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/disabilities/news.php?q=1241455177 May 4, 2009 Unreported or Underreported Real Pandemics, Not Fake Ones Like Avian and Swine Flu - by Stephen Lendman In his April 29 Global Research.ca article, F.

Was it gross negligence or euthenasia when the Jail ignored repeated calls and missing person reports for 18 days while keeping this mentally ill heart patient incarcerated until his death?   Why did Shelby County Jail repeatedly and falsely report to Larry’s family and social worker during Larry’s period “missing” that neither Larry Neal nor any unidentified detainee meeting his description was incarcerated? Immediately after Larry’s burial, why did The Cochran Firm contract with Larry’s mother, Hattie Neal, to sue Shelby County Jail for wrongful death, when the Memphis office of The Cochran Firm was in fact managed by Julian Bolton, a 20-year member of the Shelby County Commission, which is the entity that owns and operates the jail where Larry died? Was it to protect Shelby County Government that The Cochran Firm merely held Larry’s wrongful death case on its shelves inactive for the next 10.5 months while the Tennessee statute of limitations on personal injury ran? Why did The Cochran Firm write letters to Larry’s mother and sister, Mary Neal, after contracting with them and lie about a vigorous investigation and legal discovery that law firm was conducting regarding Larry’s wrongful death, when the law firm was actually doing nothing to represent them? The law office located at 127 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia is widely advertised as being the Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm. Why did this law office deny being The Cochran Firm's Atlanta office in Fulton County Superior Court when Larry's family brought suit against The Cochran Firm and served the suit to that office? If that law office is not a Cochran Firm law office, why is it allowed to be advertised as such? The Cochran Firm’s undisclosed conflict of interest, deliberate malpractice, and fraud of its clients effectively shielded Shelby County Jail from answering any Larry’s family’s questions regarding his incarceration and death.
