I'm a Democrat, but it upsets me...
Feb. 23rd, 2009 11:52 am... that President Obama just pledged $15 billion to Medicaid programs.
What about those of us who do not have and/or cannot afford health insurance but aren't poor enough to qualify for Medicaid? Don't get me wrong - I'm all for helping the poor, but they already have basic medical care at no cost to them, while the rest of us have to pay extra to cover the losses from the uninsured.
I think those billions would be better spent to finally get a nationwide health insurance program started.
*end of rant*
