Very sad and frightening for them, and it opens the door for Scott to control the rest of the Medicaid money. I hate to think what will happen to the children on Medicaid when the Feds give him the rest of the money. Privatizing services paid for by taxes is wrong. Corporations are not in business for any reason but turning a profit
