Bonnie S. Bleiweiss: Moore has no clue about poor

Regarding the April 11 news article “Medicaid expansion will have a rough ride in the legislature”: House Speaker Tim Moore thinks the working poor don’t need health care, instead he said that growing the economy is better for them.

I must point out that these people work in low-paying jobs that will not change with an improved economy. Moore needs to get a clue and some compassion.
