informative. I hope we can work together in the 2017 Legislature to revamp state funded medicaid to balance modern medicine with a holistic/preventative approach including, behavioral, emotional, physical, environmental, financial, spiritual etc. with jobs, education and appropriate funding and accountability form patients and providers..
