With the guv being the stalwart number cruncher he is, what better way is there to help contain patient costs after the federal government begins to scale back its "contribution", then by containing the number of patients your new entitlement will cover?

Think Sections 3403 and 10320 in the PPACA.

Of course, it does play hell with the voting rolls. But they have already lived a long and good life anyway.

Gotta look at the larger picture and keep those overall costs down!
