Re: Mississippi Medicaid

You might be right about the need to overhaul, but what about the need for people to actually get out and work, and be responsible for their choices. I work in the medical field, and see, on a daily basis, people on medicaid who could be working, people who have jobs making reasonable salaries having their kids on medicaid, all the same time driving around in late model cars with gucci purses, $150 Nike shoes and cell phones hanging on.

Medicaid waiver (prenatal) patients often come in on their 3rd, 4th or higher number pregnacy without the means to support the children they conceive or give birth to. I keep hearing about reproductive rights, but what about reproductive responsibilities?????????
