I just hope Ken isn't into the libertarian thang myself: if he's arguing that vision is optional because people don't need to see, then he's going to have a bit of a hard time explaining who's going to rehabilitate the broke and unemployable blind apart from the evil tax fattened federal government...

Are there no prisons?
Are there no workhouses?

Those are publically funded institutions as well, old boy. There was quite a fuss about workhouses being underwritten by the public purse in Dickens' day.

Yet another Republican governor does the same:

Ind. baby denied life-saving treatment after state's budget cuts

An Indiana baby needs life-saving surgery, but the state health care agency -- whose budget was slashed this year -- won't pay for it.

Six-month-old Seth Petreikis suffers from complete DiGeorge syndrome, which keeps him from developing a thymus, an infection-fighting glandular organ. He needs a transplant that's been pioneered by a specialist at Duke University in North Carolina.

But the procedure costs $500,000, and the state's Family Social Services Administration won't pay for it under the state's Medicaid, reports the Northwest Indiana Times. It claims that the treatment is "experimental" -- even though 58 of 60 children to receive it have survived.

We last wrote about Indiana's FSSA after some of its staffers told parents to drop off their developmentally disabled children at homeless shelters. The parents had failed to receive schedule Medicare waivers to pay for care, after Gov. Mitch Daniels -- who is now weighing a possible 2012 GOP presidential run -- cut the agency's funding to deal with a budget shortfall.

Medicaid never pays full price for any procedure.

I said medicaid never pays full price. That has nothing to do with Democrats. Nothing to do with death panels. Im starting to believe you need pahunk's medication.

Just hoping you had something positive to add.

Yes, well, I can see how filling in a missing part of the picture might not be viewed as a positive contribution by someone who just likes to bash people without being troubled by details. Sorry about that. As I said before, carry on.

K.

Was trying to let you down easy but what you provided was garbage......but I realize that won't stop you
