24. fingerprint the elderly ... nice gropenfailure
>>Advocates said the cuts to healthcare and social services -- while scaled back from what the governor originally proposed -- would be devastating.

"Millions of Californians will live sicker and die younger as a result of these cuts," said Anthony Wright, executive director of the nonprofit Health Access California. He called the plan a cause for "embarrassment and shame for California."

Work requirements under the state's welfare program would be increased, forcing many recipients to drop out. Emergency cash grants intended for the children of families not meeting those requirements would be eliminated for the first time. Entire groups of seniors currently eligible to receive healthcare in their homes no longer would be. Those that are eligible would be fingerprinted, an effort to eliminate fraud.

At what cost will this fingerprinting be and why? Does anyone really think for a second that the elderly are abusing this system? :wtf:

Sweet deal ahnuld! Your gropenarse will be long gone soon in any event as you leave the State of Calif. in a shambles!
