Social Security Fraud: Abuse of Process or Abuse of Power?

Offering the American people and popultations at risk a false sense of security is unfair and unjust. I would rather have nothing at all than false expectations and disappointment in a social "security" system that has repeatedly failed society's most vulnerable populations.

The bottom line is this, we can pass laws, we can file injunctive orders of relief, waivers for this and for that or pass symbolic legislation to spew a false sense of hope... but if the pattern of "reform" mimics that of recent state efforts, the implementation of the new healthcare program is going to be a freaking disaster!

Public programs that fall short if their promise to assist those in crisis. Unless we demand accountability from state and federal agencies (1) demanding a timely response; (2) create and external entity to do an independent audit to ensure compliance, (3) enforce those laws through whatever means necessary; we have no recourse.

Welcome to my world...

North Eastern Pennsylvania general information line for Social Security.
I was informed that the TN Office (as listed by the state on Document
MCC Change Schedule: Dev 10Aug09) was closed.
TennCare Solutions : 1-800-873-3192.

Even though she claimed to have no information regarding the Health
plan change in Tennessee, she did manage to tell me that any changes
to my benefits are NOT a Social Security issue and told me to call the
IRS.

Refused to give me her Employee ID or reference no. for the call.
Also refused to mail or provide any information regarding federal law
rights to legal representation. [Publication No. 05-10075]

She was brief, bitchy, and apathetic. Too busy to even log the call.

Told me to go to my "local office" if i wish to pick up a copy of the
publication i requested.

The one everyone seems to ignore: the law.

The one that says clear as day, that I do, in fact, have federal law rights.

$44 dollars round trip. More than my food stamps, but less than my electric bill.

Completely oblivious to federal law and my rights to appeal. Or at
least, did a damn good job pretending.

I don't waste time with idiots.

So time marches on, as my life continues to stand still.
