Social Welfare Policy Introduction One of the things that define the United States is its social welfare policy, best defined as a range of services and activities by governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and volunteers helping (mostly) the needy and the vulnerable to care for themselves. In light of these, it is impossible to talk about social welfare in the US without talking about three subjects: Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare. Medicaid is a state and federal program designed to assist some people with limited resources and income pay for medical services. Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily providing health insurance to US citizens 65 years or older and for some disabled young people (determined by the Social Security Administration), and for persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and end-stage renal disease.

Report After the president, his excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and right hon, Raila Odinga yesterday gave us the BBi report; there was a mixed reaction. One conversation is we should read the document and not rely on politicians. I am reading the document, 97% to see if it offers any good solution, and with a 3% bias. And before you take everything I say from now with bias, lemme address the bias I have. I feel like the relationship we share with the current regime is one of the oppressors vs. the oppressed. The administration has intentionally done so much that directly or indirectly made Kenyans’ lives harder than it was before. Loan interests are growing bigger than the wage bill, high unemployment rate, especially for the youths, a very unfavorable business environment for those who start small and don’t have fathers who gift us capitals with more than six digits. Now tell me, how can the oppressor change the law to favor the oppressed? How can the oppressor know what’s ailing the oppressed? I may be wrong, but the enslaved…
