54. Whoever runs against the Space Alien

Mar 2014

Should blast the airwaves with this story. A few years ago he wanted to CUT Medicaid. Show the faces of exactly who is getting Medicaid. A non-profit agency serving the MR/DD population ran ads on TV showing their Consumers. These are the people who Rick Scott thinks are" lazy loafs on Medicaid".

Put a FACE on these people, like this woman and her children.
