If you drug test welfare recipients...
In Florida there is currently a 0.4 percent failure rate among applicants.
Based on the NYT estimate that the average Florida temporary assistance applicant receives $253 monthly for
less than five months, the state has saved $40,480 in denied benefits due to drug testing.
With an average test cost of about $35,the state reimbursed $246,050 for the tests of those who passed.
The net loss to the state of $200,000 since July does not include substantial administrative or legal costs. |

good point Box, and let's not forget that the people on drugs are addicts and aren't going to simply stop using. They are gonna get their money somehow, ie dealing drugs, robbing old ladies, and stealing credit card numbers. |

Obama can mandate drug testing companies conduct them for "free". Drug abuse causes many modern illnesses. It will save money, not only welfare, but catching addicts early will save healthcare costs. |

HUH! Obligating the Drug companies to do drug tests for "free" would cost these drug companies money. (Unlike the provision to add contraceptive coverage to existing health insurance policies, that would actually save the drug companies money) |

Let us not forget that some states pay a lot more than Florida does when you consider welfare, housing, heat, and food stamps. |

Food stamps are a federal program. The states only cost is administering the program. |

Oh yes, I forgot, Obama mandated the insurance companies a savings plan that they couldn't figure out for 100 year and implement willing. The insurance industry must be populated with the dumbest America has to offer.

Um... Bumbler... Florida IS Drug Testing for welfare recipients. Other states have passed or are considering proposals to do the same. |
