"Gov. Rick Perry has ordered Texas to cover the lost federal funding. Allowing the $35 million program to expire would have cost the state more in the long run because of additional unplanned pregnancies and health problems among poor women covered by Medicaid."
Such as illegal aliens.
"Millwee's proposal calls on the state to contact women enrolled in the program and help them find new providers. "If a provider cannot be identified for the client, call center staff will escalate to appropriate Medicaid and Provider Relations staff who will recruit additional providers," the plan said."
So they will hire MORE government employees so that 'poor folks' will not have to be responsible for themselves.
"Women who earn income less than 185 percent of the federal poverty level, or roughly $20,000 a year, are eligible for the program, and state officials say 292,000 are enrolled."
And where are the families of these women and why are they not helping to take care of their own?
