Minnesota Senate proposes to eliminate funding for dentures for poor seniors

Minnesota Republican Senate will deny dentures to elderly and disabled poor. It appears the "pro-life" senate is trying to starve the poor to death. "Medical assistance covers eyeglasses, dentures, and prosthetic devices for eligible recipients UNDER 21 years of age." But those under 21 who need dentures (and there are some) will get them. I guess there is some remnant of mercy left.

The disabled and elderly poor will be without glasses, teeth, and limbs. SHAME SHAME SHAME

1. I guess you don't need teeth to eat cat food.

It's already soft and mushy.

2. My poor, poor state

Minnesota used to be filled with decent people.

We should have put up a fence in the 90's.

3. Mark better veto 99% of their crap. How cruel.

4. That's it, NOW I AM FUCKING PISSED.

So I will have to pay for my glasses? What if my friend's electric wheelchair quits working? :grr:
