I participated in one of the "listening groups" convened in St. Louis by the Dep't. of Health and Senior Services. <BR/> There I learned that one will have to "earn" credits to obtain dental care. Since when is dental care a luxury rather than basic to general health?<BR/> Nothing will be done to help people with disabilities if they can't do enough calisthenics and aerobic workouts to "earn" their spot on the medicaid rolls.<BR/> People like me, with diabetes, can "earn" care by losing weight. Huh?! I'm already at the perfect weight for my height.<BR/> What are some details about the "health police" -- in other words who will monitor the poor to see if their life-styles and food choices conform to state mandates? How much will we spend on "health police" rather than on taking care of people who are medically indigent?<BR/> Why not eliminate profiteering insurance companies with their CEOs' limousines and vacation mansions? Their Bloat is not healthy for Missourians!<BR/> [PS: There's a typo in your "About Me" info.]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
