The whole notion that someone is sitting around saying, 'I want to be on Medicaid so I'm not going to work' is, in my opinion, a ridiculous thing. Statistics show that people who aren't aged, blind, or disabled -- the vast majority of them are working." - ConsejoSano's SVP, Strategy, Gary Rosenfield
