(A newer program with slightly more generous terms, called Pay As You Earn, or PAYE, is available to more recent graduates.)

Medicaid
When will people realize that Medicaid is bankrupting our country? If people are on Medicaid they are always "sicker" getting 10 prescriptions at a time? Why is the taxpayer paying for your aspirin? Why is the taxpayer paying for your suboxone? It's not my problem you're addicted to drugs. Tax payer paying for your birth control? Your plan b??? And they fill crap, don't even take it, just refill it because it's free. "refill anything I can get" is the classic line. Aside from the fact how much fraud there is. Tax payer paying for that 10 percocets that they get from the ER that they sell on the ...

my day at a commercial eye place...and questions
A couple months ago I needed a new glasses prescription(I usually wear contacts but wear glasses maybe 1 day a week)....it had been about 3 years since I last got a prescription, so needed another one.

MPH FAFSA question
Hi everyone-
So I'm applying to George Washington for my MPH, and recieved an e-mail that said:
"Do you plan to apply for Financial Aid? If so, submit your FAFSA by the Priority Deadline (January 15) to receive your financial aid package in early April."
I'm working on FAFSA now, but there's some information that I just don't see how I can fill out until I file taxes, which I'm not doing until about a week after the "priority deadline". Namely, the amount of income tax I'm paying in 2012.
On one part of FAFSA, it said I could use information from 2011 if it was similar to 2012, but I wasn't working...

Do you have to claim assistance on your taxes?
Does anyone know if the CFPAP and/or the manufacturer patient assistance programs send out 1099 forms? I'd like to know if I need to budget paying taxes on the amount of assistance I get. (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Payment Assistance Resources Forum)
