Friday thoughts: With Dems like these...
Who says we're broke?
“We believe this will save the Medicaid program.” --Julie Hamos, director of the state Healthcare and Family Services department.
"We're not pulling back from service. In fact, we're giving more service to more people and we're adding a new benefit." -- Rahm EmanuelI'm thinking that with IL Dems like thes who needs Walker?
Gov. Quinn just signed on to $1.6 billion in cuts to Medicaid. The cuts include termination of the Illinois Cares Rx prescription drug program for the low-income elderly and disabled and a $15 million-a-year program that provided nursing services to “medically fragile” children reliant on ventilators so they could remain in their homes rather than being moved full-time into hospitals.
I know, I'm not supposed to call them cuts. Since the Dems are doing it, they're "reforms." Like Julie Hamos says, we're actually "saving" Medicaid. In the mean time, those kids on the ventilators will just have to suck it up. It's like when Mayor Rahm closes the city's mental health clinics, he's not really closing them. He's actually providing "more services." Haven't you heard of the old saying, "less is more"?
I'm also thinking maybe it's about time for Reading, PA to appeal to India, China, Saudi Arabia, somebody (Haiti
