Senate Bill 11 - Creates a New Medicaid Entitlement

Unbelievably, many members of the majority want to create a new entitlement for those on Medicaid. Where will the money come from????

It will give comprehensive dental services to those on the lower economic tier. The job holders that will be taxed to pay for these benefits often can't afford these services themselves.
