Festival of Acronyms: CCD Worried About TTW

     The Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) has expressed concern over language in the pending appropriations bill for Social Security concerning the Ticket To Work (TTW) program. The bill would require a report on TTW effectiveness.
     I think there is good reason to question TTW's effectiveness. However, I'm also aware that some Republicans want a more coercive approach to return to work, as in something like time limited disability benefits. That would cause enormous distress for large numbers of very sick people and it wouldn't save money but it wouldn't be all bad. It would create plenty of business for me. There would be lots and lots of people cast off benefits only to get right back on benefits after an appeal or two.

The TTW comes directly out of the insurance industry's wheelhouse. It is one of the ways for it to stay viable in the workers compensation insurance system. One of the insurance industry's top leaders non profit admits goals are about depopulation. Apparently, the injured worker that are disabled are not dying fast enough and are burdens on the insurance industry net profits.
This is straight out of the insurance industry's real goal's all along and has profound and dire consequences to those on workers comp and having to apply for social security and Medicare which after all ARE too, insurance companies. So far, roughly 2.7 billion dollars i profit by the insurance industry has been made to deny workers compensation benefits for over 30 years and that falls directly on the self insured employers that have been denying workers compensation on their injured and disabled workers. In totality, the insurance industry has made profits of over 4 and half trillion dollars including having us to buy insurance per the law, as in homes, cars,? Doesn't this man and others in the insurance industry need to be charged with crimes against humanity for wanting to foster depopulation while being involved with deliberately denying worker compensation benefits or even SSA/Medicare, for the same denials, causing the disabled to die while waiting for these benefits whether that be benefits to live on and medical care? The denial of medical care profits overall are in these several trillions of dollars too. When the insurance industry can brag within its own evil hub about depopulation to profit off of injured workers to any of its insurance cohorts in order to remain viable and maintain profits in workers compensation, the only deduction in all of this, that those at the top, the CEO's and any of those in the congress with their congressional appointees of SSA/Medicare or any other executive in the insurance industry, is too charge them all with crimes against humanity?!? This is after all, is history repeating itself. It happened in WW11, in Europe, and it is happening right here in the U.S. on American workers and yes, it was all planned out to create the bonanza for insurance profits giving folks at the top, the biggest of all retirement packages, all starting with those who were the top wage earners and received NOTHING per the laws of the U.S. for all of their decades of working. The BIG LIE has been extended to us Americans. Then include the deadman, key, peasant policy that these bloodsuckers have made as soon as their workers die, regardless of the causation. Happy New Year!

Not to mention in the poorly educated red states they have gone around with a pre prepared piece of legislation that guts state comp systems and is rubberstamped by their payed for legislatures. The comp system in my state is not generating enough tax from settlements to help keep the court running. The big insurers have eliminated a great proportion of their risk through horrid anti-worker legislation. Billy Bob Sixpack keep voting republican but be careful down to the plant or you'll be needing help that won't be available fer ya!
