medicaid in NY is easily the most expensive in the nation, and a big part of the reason for the out-of-control taxes in this state. and it is the last in the nation to eliminate coverage for stuff like viagra.

why not give every family making $80k/yr food stamps & housing allowances also?

some pediatricians & family practitioners might qualify themselves under this liberal standard!
