I agree 100% with them. Medicaid, of all the entitlement programs, this one helps the most needy. The ones that government really does have a God given responsibility to care for.

What? Don't you think that we should be providing the "promised" health care to all of our veterans, who provide our defense?

And how about the first responders? They sometimes are the only people standing between us and the terrorists. Don't we owe them?

And how about the hard working government worker, who could be making much more money in the private sector? Don't they deserve our attention?

And how about the poor widowed Social Security recipient who has to make it on half of her deceased husband's Social Security benefit? She has to make decisions between food and medicine. Shouldn't she be first in line?

Are you beginning to see the message?

By the way, do you have any idea of the fraud and waste that is prevalent in the Medicaid program? Any?

We should meet all of the commitments that we have made as well as the governmental duties that God outlined. And there is no reason that we can't.

Fraud and waste in government problems CAN NOT be used as an excuse to walk away from governmental responsibilities.

There has been fraud in the military, are you in favor of eliminating the military? Of course not. But because caring for the indigent costs you money, and you don't understand the benefit and want to shirk your responsibility, you just want to walk away from the problem instead of work towards a more efficient and responsible government.
