I'll have to remember that!  I can let the taxpayers pay for my lift tickets if I list them as "SKI THERAPY"
for my bad back!  


I suggest you look up Hippotherapy before laughing at it, it does help many people.

So Mrs Mitt gets the taxpayers to  pay for her "therapy" while Mr Mitt wants to cut Taxpayer funded health
care for the rest of us.

The rich get subsidized by the taxpayers, while the middle class get to add Mrs Mitts medical expenses to their
own.

Box you allready know I have Multiple Sclerosis and I DID go to hippotherapy for one season. It is expensive but the MS society helped me, and no not government money but donations made to them.

Whatever way A. Romney treats her MS is HER decision, be it conventional medication, hippotherapy, yoga etc............

Where I went for hippotherapy there were alot of young children with various neurological disorders like cerebral palsy. Boy did their faces light up when they were on the horses : )

Hippotherapy helps with balance and for someone who has trouble walking it's just wonderful to get up and ride.

Yes the Romneys have alot of money, but don't knock someone for having a disease : (  I'm glad she "seems" to be doing well right now, but with MS some say to me you look good, but in reality I feel like sh*t most times.

Amen to that.  There's a LOT of people with debilitating diseases like (but not exclusive to) MS suffering every day.

I didnt know you had MS - hope you're doing well with it.

All legitimate medically necessary treatments should be covered by medical insurance.  Mitt Romney, a billionaire,
thinks that only SOME Americans should have health insurance, and only SOME Americans should be covered for
legitimate medically necessary treatments.

For most of the developed world, health care is a right.  Only in Republican America is health care considered a
luxury for the chosen ones... the rest can suffer with out any health care... fine with them.

She uses horse therapy for her MS


Make sense.. the same the way people (not all) use social assistance for their lack of initiative.

The problem is, most of the developed world is going broke from health care and other social handouts.

I know YOU believe an unelected bureaucrat appointed to some medical review board, by a member one of the two major parties should dictate what is or isn't LEGITIMATE.  Because as we have all be so well conditioned to believe, government agencies determine what is legitimate.

Healthcare is a service, services cost money, your vision of a 1 class liberal utopia is never going to happen sorry. I guess I can't feel sorry for these people cause when I drive pass the welfare office I see brand new cars pulling into the parking lot, the people outside are wearing designer jeans while talking on a cellphone and half of them look as if they could live off their stored body fat for a year. As I said before I am poor, you would probably laugh at what I make, however I don't get handouts, I can't afford luxuries like a cell phone, a new car, designer clothes, but I don't complain about it. What possessions I do own I cherish because I know I paid for them through my hard work, that includes my piece of crap pick up truck I paid $375 for

If anyone thinks that things are so wonderful in other countries they are free to leave at any time and enjoy the benefits that other countries provide along with the 75% tax rate that goes with it.

I drive by the DSS building quite often and I agree with Henry that far too many who go there are abusing the system and too many who need the help are too proud to ask for it. Hang in there rpforpres hope the hot spell breaks and you feel better.
