As the Bush steam roller takes from the poor and gives to the reach rolls on over America, the poor that get health care though Medicaid are beginning to fell the despot's heel more than the rest of us. States, hurting financially due to the Fed's cutting the funds that supplement the state's costs for Federally mandated programs, are cutting back because they just have no money. Jeb Bush's Florida is deeply involved in giving poor care to its most needy citizens as is Michigan. This excerpt from today's New York Times explains. : "Michigan has erected some of the highest barriers to the use of popular drugs and to doctors' deviating from the list of approved medicines. Doctors and patients' rights groups there say that the program sometimes poses a real danger to patients who may not respond to a listed drug or who may be taking other medications that interact with that drug." Looks like the poor, as with the children, will be left behind in Bush's mad rush to take us back to the great depression of 1929.
