Republican war on Medicaid

Letter to AJC 7-12-2012

Kyle Wingfield's article on Medicaid clearly defines the financial bubble in which the well-off Republicans live.  From Romney on down, their God is money. All their decisions revolve around the cost and how much it will affect their well stuffed wallets.
Kyle missed the point that truly civilized nations care for the health of all their citizens.  When the founding fathers declared that this nation has the right to "Life, Liberty, and  the  Pursuit of Happiness", they implicitly created the right to good health.  No one can pursue happiness if they are ill and unable to afford medical care.
I suggest Kyle and the Republicans search their moral centers and support additional Medicaid funding for Georgia to help those who need it most. Stop playing these silly games with people's lives.
