Infuriating. I don't know how they sleep at night fleecing the American people like this to pay for shameless tax cuts for billionaires and giant corporations. The pain will be deep and widespread if the Senate agrees to the House budget.
Not only does this budget steal from the American people but it sets the foundation for this century's Holocaust. For the purge of those in nursing homes, assisted living homes and seriously ill people. 77 million people in medicaid. These cuts means certain death for thousands if not millions. Here is a deeper dive into these cuts:
I don't need a script. My son had epilepsy and even though his medication keeps the frequency of seizures down, it doesn't stop them. Also, this developed when he was 41 and on the cusp of his career, which he had to give up. He lives at home with me in an overpriced rental that I keep because he has nowhere to go. He just was qualified for Medicaid after he had to cut his work hours -- at a low wage retail job --- all he can get because he cannot drive. He is in the process of being tested for possible surgery to possibly stop the seizures which are making it right now that he cannot even be alone.
Without medication he will most likely die either from sudden death which happens to a percentage of those Ina seizure, or an accident due to a seizure.
Without the surgery he will spend his entire life living in suspended animation and I will be spending my life trying to figure out how to support him when. I am entering retirement age -- Without much of a retirement.
There are so many levels of F'd up that thr Republicans could do to his life and mine. If he doesn't have coverage for meds he dies. If he loses coverage while recovering from surgery, he could die. If he ends up homeless because God forbid. I cannot provide housing for him, he could die on the streets. In fact he had appleis for housing and is on waiting lists, some running as long as 6 years. What will happen when HUD is cut further? What happens if I can no longer sustain housing for he and I? I work in a traditionally male dominant field, I am worried about what all this hatred about equality is going to do to me and my work future. It's hard enough already and I can't be thr only one, I know many people have even more dire stories to tell
Don’t forget to add disabled people to the list of people severely impacted. We’ve been treated as expendable for years, but we have nobody advocating for us even today.
Also very afraid of the mask bans on the table. The lack of masks in public, especially in healthcare settings, is appalling and directly contributing to the eugenics agenda. Disabled people cannot even safely receive healthcare because nobody wears a mask to protect us.
Not that I’m surprised, but I am still so angry. My Republican representative, when I called on at least two occasions, I was told directly that my representative would not be voting for any cuts in Medicaid. Just a straight out lie obviously.
Angry! Just angry! Robbed and betrayed in plain sight!
I'm here to help us go from enraged to engaged. We call at dawn!

Make the math work, Randy!
They’re making it reeeeaaaaally hard to make the math work, my friend.
Republican Math is something else.

They are doing their own selves a disservice.
Thank you so much for the very happy ending. . . I got goosebumps 😎
Every single one of us is Mister Rogers, begging for the mightiest country to have compassion.
It’s time to party like it’s 1789 🇫🇷🇺🇸

You're darn right you don't need a script. You give em hell!
People need to stop voting for republicans.
They work for the rich.
I just called both of my Senators in Ohio and left a voicemail for both.
Bastards! They want tax breaks for the rich, and starve kids and not let them have healthcare.

Absolutely. A significant amount of people receiving Medicaid and SNAP have a disability.
Here are some orgs advocating for those with disabilities

May a pox be upon the Republican scum in the House of Representatives.
they probably got vaccinated for that. make sure to call them!

Let's be the louder, angrier voice (more than weak Pres. Trump): https://time.com/7261459/house-budget-vote-medicaid-cuts/
If it were only that easy now.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be worth it.
You are so right.
