Matt Blunt Balances Budget on Backs of All But 15% of Missourians on Medicaid

Missouri Medicaid cuts signed into law:

Gov. Matt Blunt signed legislation Tuesday that will scale back Medicaid, the government's $5 billion health care program for the poor.

. . .

Even with his changes, he said the program is still "very generous" and will cover 15 percent of Missourians.

It's not enough for critics of the reduction, notably the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

What, you don't hear the thunder? That's because those critics haven't collapsed in a crash to fill the void in funding. No, it's easier to simply plead that the government, that is, everyone else do something.
