Please don’t blame the poor people for being poor.The government has regulation that automaticly place people in Medicaid program when they don’t ask. Rick should not have named any racial group,he put his own foot in his mouth.He could very easyly said poor people,he used Black to play on emotions of White people who already hate Obama and think all Black’s are on welfare.I agree truth sometimes hurt but when its used for political purposes it’s not just truth.If you break the % down most are elderly and kids.The medicaid program might be bad but health care is provided by Doctors and other health care people who see other private pay patients.Unless you know the facts please stop puting all health care in same catogory.
