Most of what the SJ Mercury said is true. The MAJORITY of Medicaid recipients are children and the most of the remainder are the disabled and the elderly.

The block grant concept may work if the Feds are prevented from cutting the grants in the future; however, balancing the budget on those who have no other resources is not a prudent idea. I could not advocate cutting therapy funding for mentally disabled patients, and this would happen under these proposed changes.

GW Bush is my personal hero, but I cannot support him in this proposal.

But it's up to their parents to pay for their health care of get an insurance policy. If you can't afford kids because you aren't working a full time job with benefits, then you should wait to have them.
