What are my options? I have recently found out that someone close to me is receiving Medicaid and in the process of getting food stamps. This is so unfair and annoying. No health issues keeping them from working. They are both healthy, and so is their child. The husband has done only one type of work his whole working life (he's only 30)....this type of work has slowed down quite a bit. Yet he will not seek other types of employment. The wife had a steady, full time position at a bank. When their baby was born, it broke the wife's heart to be away from the baby. She gave up money and health insurance to be a stay-at-home mom and auxillary pioneer.
Which is fine....except the dad is making no effort to be employed. All he has ever been concerned with is having a rock hard body, to look good in the congregation (Hes a ministerial servant), have a wife that obeys him, and have everyone know how awesome he is.
Let me reiterate: Its not that there are no jobs available. And I'm not speaking of fast food joints (not that there's anything wrong with that ) These two people are not making any effort to find work. They do not have health insurance and have ordered food stamps.
Should I just let this go? Is there anything I could say or do about it? I know lots of people do this, but these 2 people are so healthy and able bodied...its just not right. Not right at all.
