The G.W. Bush Plan for Medicaid

[Guest guest]

I guess since nearly all Republican Governors (in addition to the Democratic

ones) feel as I

do, this can't be considered " political " . However, it is strongly anti Bush! If

there was ever a

person who was NOT compassionate and who claimed to be so, it is the current

occupant of

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. In a few months, Medicaid services will be significantly

shifted to

more state responsibility --- so --- if you live in one of the " enlightened "

states and have a

son or daughter or other loved one, you may be okay. BUT, if not, beware!

Let me be fair, I do NOT think that Medicaid funds should be used for Doc

training – and this

will go away under the Bush plan. But, payment to those folks who NEED Medicaid

to get

their basic services will undoubtedly be harmed. Oh sure, Bush says they can

always go to

the ER. Is that what you want for your loved one???

As you can tell, I'm mad as hell and will be so glad when the current occupant

of 1600 is a

fading memory!

Sorry if I've stepped on too many toes, but ---- as I said --- I'm mad as hell

at what

damage has been done during the past 7 years.
