You speak as one with authority, but I believe that truth will reveal that
Medicaid and Social Security are two totally separate acts passed by the U.S.
Government and are in no way connected, not for funding or any other way. Now I
will grant you that there is no way that we can say they are totally separated
because they are both dependent on congress and president to enact a budget so
that these programs are funded each and every year.

Thank you,
