[Faith-talk] Fw: Inquiring About Legislation Concerning BlindMissouri Medicaid Recipients

[Jeanette]

wow 28 million on medicade, tons of money, and then the blind pention as 
well in missouri, it sounds like they are running out of money and trying to 
shift it around, sad really, they should spend money on trying to get these 
folks trained so they can work ins tead of spending it on other things, just 
a thought, texas has tuition exemption to help disabled folks go to college. 
only stae that does that, will pray for all on medicade in mi. and for a 
solution. jeanette
