Constituents of Representative Tara Mack corner her on the first day of the 2010 Minnesota Legislature and ask her to support funding General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC).

GAMC is the program that provides health care to the poorest of the poor in Minnesota and was line item vetoed by Governor Tim Pawlenty at the end of the last legislative session.

Representative Mack did not commit to voting for any of the proposals to save GAMC, saying the program was not as important as making sure health care services continue to those the program now serves.
