Government cuts threaten needy

Concerning governmental ideas of recapturing funds, it’s an “atrocity” or, in other words, a cruel act, not knowing people’s needs before pulling the plug.

I pray they reconsider and gauge cuts on urgency and severity of a person’s medical condition. In some cases, without the help of Medicaid, clients will be destined to an early grave. I hope this is not their plan or intention.

Sickness affects everyone that lives. Health care solutions were promised – is this their answer? Will the elderly also be their victims? Can the country be healed with a promise? Yes, if they would squeeze just a little more hope from the stone and have some mercy for the terminal, disabled and families struggling by making changes to accommodate rather than rash decisions without compassion.
