The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.”
But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
