  • Once again fraud is holdling up processing legitimate claims. How can a fisherman claim less than 6 months of work = $10,000,000? He probably would never even see $1,000,000 in profits in his entire lifetime. The same for this woman doing weddings.

  • Part of the problem is the "medical criteria" for people keeps changing. I remember 20 years ago a colestrol rating of 200 was considered within normal limits. Now they want you under a 100. How do you get there? Statins. A blood sugar level of 133 was normal and now it needs to be under 100.
