re: #17 BryanS

Right…I agree. So isn’t it in the insurance company’s interest to fund them? I stated in my post I agreed they save money and lives. Since the federal level is only funding 20% of them, why can’t states figure out how to pick the rest up, even, as I suggested, by taxing insurance companies.

It would be hard to find a better example of a federal program that should NOT be cut. It indisputably saves lives, and also saves enormous amounts of money.

It’s bullshit. An easy target for Republicans that they can add to their bogus list of cuts, while doing immeasurable harm and wasting big money in the long term.
