Lifeline Assistance Program

For decades, America has fought in many different wars with the need of health assistance for their soldiers. The American Red Cross is a worldwide organization that helped during the times of war but also provided a path for scientific advancements. Through the American Red Cross and other organizations of this time, they opened up the doors for women to take the chance to advance in the medical field by participating in scientific experiments and being at the aide of wounded soldiers. During this time of scrutiny, the Great War was a hidden opportunity for the encroachment of medical research with the contribution to the expansion of nursing.

The two most important sub programs would be the Garden Plot, and the other sub program is the Cable Splicer. Program Garden Plot allows the government to have complete control over the population. Program Cable Splicer allows for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. Operation Garden Plot and Operation Cable Splicer would allow Rex 84, FEMA camps, and absolute control over the citizens of America to be legal (AlienExistence). The government can enforce these programs, operations, and camps anytime they feel threaten of revolt of democracy, or when there are too many riots to control. Initially, Operation Garden Plot and Cable Splicer was also intended for illegal aliens that crossed the Mexican/US border where they will be held in old military bases turned into FEMA camps. The only motive why they would make these two sub programs is to allow the government to have a reason to have the camps.

Operation Safety Net is a local program for the city of Pittsburgh that strives to better the lives of individuals who are homeless. As described on the program’s website, Operation Safety Net provides its consumers with necessary health care and an increase of hope and self-esteem (Operation Safety Net, 2015). This program has proven to help close the critical health inequity of homeless individuals living without healthcare. Healthy People 2020 define a health disparity as, “a particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage.” (Disparities, para 6, 2015). This includes individuals having access to safe housing, culturally aware health care professionals and the opportunity to have health insurance. Therefore, there is a clear rationale for the Operation Safety Net program to be assisting people in Pittsburgh experiencing these inequities.

The United States does not spend too much on the food stamp (SNAP program) and no one deserves to go hungry. Every year during budget talks the welfare program comes up as the government explores ways to cut the budget. There seems to be a lot of unnecessary spending due to things like abuse of the system and program administration. There are many areas in which reforms could be instituted and the program could be expanded without misappropriation of funds.

I believe that everyone has the right to health care, especially if health conditions calls for it. I do not think income level or the type of insurance should dictate the eligibility or quality of care. By using that criteria, we are implying that certain groups of people deserves to be taken care of and have good health while others do not deserve it. I believe healthcare should be accessible to all as a basic human right.

The expense for these programs is just something that we know we need to budget for because the outcome is much greater. This is producing more, productive members to contribute to society.

In 1985 the Reagan administration launched the Lifeline Phone program to ensure low income households, disabled veterans, senior citizens, and various other individuals receiving any form of government assistance had access to a phone to easily contact emergency services, current and/or potential employers, and stay connected with family (FCC, 2016). Subsequently, the government began charging wire-line and wireless phone companies a fee to fund the Lifeline program and qualified citizens were allowed to activate one government subsidized/discounted wire-line phone per household (Koebler, 2012). In 2008, the Bush administration expanded the program to include basic cell phones as an acknowledgement of advances in technology, the evolution of how citizens utilized telecommunication devices, and statistically residency for Americans that live below the poverty line tends to be more transitory (Malter, 2012 & Tumulty, 2013). As a result of the inclusion of cell phones along with the onset of the Great Recession in

assistance to low income individuals and families. An estimate of 1.8 million New Yorkers and a total of 46.3 million Americans participate in the SNAP program. Despite the large number of individuals on food stamp the Census Bureau reports in 2010 3.9 million people were lifted above the poverty line and 5 million in 2012 all because of the assistance from SNAP. However the federal government has threaten to cut back on the budget for SNAP. In January 2014 the Farm bill was proposed which included an 8.7 million cut to the SNAP program for the next 10 years. Obama later signed the bill into law on February 7, 2014 saying that the Bill would help create more jobs, move the economy forward and give Americans more equal opportunity (Resnikoff 1). Despite the government’s reasons for the budget cut 850 thousand households would be losing an average of 90 dollars per month (Resnikoff 1). This is unfortunate because reports have shown that SNAP is not only an effective federal program but it also has a positive outcome for individuals. Even in the previous statistics, going from 3.9 million to 5 million people lifted above the poverty line in only a two year difference is a significant breakthrough for low income individuals. It is often easy to find yourself falling under the poverty line, but harder to pick yourself back up. Many individuals who are against the program believe that being on food stamps makes an individual more government dependent and takes away the drive for
