Read this thoughtful op ed piece [1] in the Springfield News Leader by Pastor Roger Ray, of the National Avenue Christian Church, in Springfield, MO.

Here's a sample:

Gov. Matt Blunt's proposed budget tells us that we need to throw 120,000 Missourians overboard. We are not talking about fixing the abuse. We are not talking about clamping down on the outrageous profits made by the health care industry. We are talking about asking the elderly, the ill, the insane and the disabled to figure out how to make it on their own.
