Approve Him

Editor, Times-Union:

This is in reference to yesterday's letter to the editor about Social Security disability and Medicaid.

I don't know what his disability is, but I do know people who have it because they are alcoholic. I know a couple that have it due to being overweight. One who sniffed glue and got it, and one I know got it because he was unable to read.

It is my opinion that they should not discriminate because of his age. They should do the proper testing to prove he is either disabled or not disabled, not use records a few months old or more. How else are they going to know if he has gotten worse or not?

I hope he gets approved for everything. How do they expect people to live when they are going through this process?
