I wanted to crash into something, I was so angry. Once again, they flip things around to place blame on the blameless (it's just like blaming illegal employment on illegal immigrants). It's not welfare for the middle class or even for the poor. It's just more money necessary because of the insurance industry and for the insurance companies and contractors who manage these programs. Stop giving our hard-earned dollars to corporations who feed on us and our fears and stop blaming the families who pay your big fat salaries.
