Does anyone agree that this state should drug test everyone who is receiving assistance from the government? During the super bowl interview with Obama, I was dumbfounded when he said since October, 6 MILLION people signed up for Medicaid. I don't know about you, but I "make too much money" to qualify for that, an I pay close to $1,000 a month for healthcare for my family. Not to mention, I know a WHOLE lot of people who receive assistance, work off the books, and sit home and do drugs and keep having children to use as a bigger paycheck. This is so annoying to me! What can WE as hard working tax payers in this town/state do to get some justice and make people get off their asses and actually WORK to feed their families, provide healthcare, and housing for themselves?! It's disgusting! I do understand that there are people who do actually need help to get on their feet again  and I agree with that. However, there's SO many people taking advantage everyday. Drug tests anyone?
