POPSThe Costs of Trying to Save without Thinking Higher medical and hospitalization costs, lost wages, homelessness and even incarceration of mentally ill patients account for the potential increase in cost, Fleeter concluded. About 45,000 people on Medicaid could be directly affected, the study said.

POPSSocialized Medicine as the Bogey Man Anti social does not mean that you do not like to be around people. It means that you enjoy violating the rights of others. Health care should be a right, and I would prefer if it were pro-social medicine.
