Remember when the Republicans were talking about "death panels" during the national health care debate last year? That seems to be the message of what the Ohio Health Care Association is depicting in their new television advertisements that have been popping up around the dial in response to gutting skilled nursing care, aka nursing homes, by $470 Million dollars. The scary thing about it though, is if the cuts do come, not only jobs will be lost but likely lives as well as senior citizens will need to find new options for long-term health care. With the loss in funding, facilities such as Metro Health Center for Skilled Nursing Facility here in Cleveland would either close or services down to a bare minimum level. Laughably, Kasich says he is being bullied by the group telling the Plain Dealer: If there is someone who knows a thing or two about bullying, it is Kasich himself who famously said following his election. 
"For them to get their way would continue a precedent of bullying, intimidation and the power of special interests in our state."

Maybe the taxpayers can get some of their money back and save for their own retirement instead of someone elses. Maybe the taxpayers will be able to take their kids on a vacation. Maybe that will have to pay less taxes giving them the opportunity to send their kids to college. Maybe if they spend less people will have more money in their pocket to buy granny a mobile wheel chair. The possibilities are endless. I'm excited.
Or maybe the taxpayers will have to choose between college for the kids and care for grandma.

With more of their own money in their pocket they will have a better chance. They wont have to feel guilty about taking stolen money.
