I appreciate Mr. Collins' strong support. As a former county executive in Erie County, you had that experience of having to write the check every month to Albany for a program and services that you had no control over. I very much appreciate it. One of the ironies here is that New York State, with 19 million people, spends more on its Medicaid system than Texas and Florida combined. Those two States have more than double our population, yet we spend more than those two States--Texas and Florida--combined. It is no wonder so many New Yorkers have fled to places like Texas and Florida through the years. So I appreciate Mr. Collins' consistent leadership on this issue from the time the gentleman was the county executive in Erie County.
