Nothing.

My neighbors, my patients, and my friends, quite a lot. About 6 months ago they successfully led a colition to defeat Haley Barbor's Medicaid reform bill -- which would have eliminated the poverty level elderly and disabled from Medicaid, leaving some (disabled esp) with no health insurance at all.

The bill had already been signed into law (dead of night legislation), and through obstructionism and hardball tactics, they got the deadline for implementation extended, and finally a federal court through it out. The Govenor is going to try and reintroduce it this session, with corrections to satisfy the court, and it will go exactly nowhere.
