I know..... Seriously someone should come up with a safe way for women to terminate pregnancies when a mother is unfit to financially support their child, right?
OOPS!!!!
And bring back workhouses for those who lose their jobs after they have kids.
Oh, well. I guess he's got to finance that $12 million dollar helicopter somehow. So what if a few more kids don't get their asthma meds.
The Christie administration is expected to propose cutting the maximum income level of Medicaid from $24,645 to $5,317 a year for a family of three
“That is about a third of the poverty level,” Castro said. “That means that an uninsured parent working full time at a minimum-wage job wouldn’t be eligible. … A parent who works half-time for minimum wage wouldn’t even qualify.

Geeze..you people believe blogs and Above Top Secret and Think Progrsss ?
You people are so gullible.
What the Christie administration is proposing is to FREEZE new enrollments to 30% of poverty levels.
The current enrollments are left alone. And he has to get approval from DC on this.
New Jersey officials seek approval to change Medicaid structure :: New Jersey Policy Perspective
"Department of Human Services spokesperson Nicole Brossoie said what she termed “freezing enrollment” was “an initiative that has been utilized in previous budget years to contain Medicaid costs and preserve entitlement benefits for the most vulnerable residents — children, seniors and people with disabilities.”
Pick on the poor. They don't have the energy after working two jobs to fight back. I applaud Gov. Christe for showing the true face of the Republican Party. They really do represent only our Aristocracy of Wealth.
Maybe he can make it up to them by offering limo rides so they don't have to (God forbid) walk a hundred yards.
Maybe someone should suggest to Christie that he will be saving taxpayer's money if watched hsd cholesterol and actually exercised and walked those few hundred yards. The right slams Michelle Obama for promoting good eating habits and physical activity and they place Christie on a pedestal (that would have to be one helluva big pedestal). He reminds of the people on the space station in the Wall-E movie.
If granny is in the nursing home having spent down and gets $6,000 a year in Social Security, you can expect she will be thrown out into the street or coming to visit you permanently.
Perhaps he could just send granny to the Knackers.
