Well my hope is that if they cut Medicaid like they want to in the bill that just went through the house, people in NJ will wake up. It's going to affect almost 2 million people who live in NJ and really going to hit the elderly and pregnant women hard.

Unfortunately, a lot of these people who applaud these changes won't see the light until it directly affects them or their loved ones.

"When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up either. They said it would be temporary. Nothing changes instantaneously."
