A fundamental question needs to be answered: What is fair in such
shared sacrifice?

* Is a Medicaid home care recipient losing assistance with getting
in and out of bed and toileting the same as a hedge fund manager not
being able to buy yet another Ferrari?

* Is a family who is forced to give up their disabled child because
Medicaid will no longer provide them with the supports they need the
same as a family who will now need to think twice about buying a luxury
estate?

* Is an elderly woman losing her home and family and being forced
into a nursing facility because she can no longer receive Medicaid
attendant services the same as an oil company not being able to write
off the cost of a private jet.

* Is an attendant who just manages to make ends meet losing the
income that allows her to care for her family the same as a bank
executive paying more taxes on a multi-million dollar bonus?

I'm sure the rep's had a very stupid answer for these questions & have no guilty conscience whatsoever.
