Medicaid calls directed to Montana number

As if the cuts to Missouri Medicaid recipients weren't bad enough, Associated Press reports the Missouri Department of Social Services had a typo in its letter telling Medicaid recipients of the cuts and calls ended up being directed to a Montana woman's toll-free number.
The article says, "Many of the callers are older- some are weeping, others cursing- and don't understand when she tries to explain the mistake. So instead of hanging up on them, she has been listening."
Ironically, that is more than the pro-business at any cost mob that produced the Medicaid cuts have been willing to do.
