My little brother might literally die if cut from Medicaid, and considering staying on it rn is enough of a battle, it’s likely he will end up off of it Fuck you and your selfish ass. Sorry you weren’t allowed to say mean things to a trans person

As a college student, my university doesn’t allow students to work more than 20hrs a week, which makes it so I don’t qualify for food stamps. And without having a full time job paying for insurance would be near impossible, and my uni mandates all students have insurance. It is literally impossible

Limiting college to the wealthy white people, yet another fucking thing the Trump administration promised and delivered to the detriment of every aspect of America.

The bill included a series of exemptions from work requirements, including for half time and full time students. As long as you’re enrolled in at least 6 hours a semester you can still receive Medicaid.

There are several exemptions, including for disabled, newly unemployed, elderly, etc, but I only spoke on student exemptions because that’s what the commenter expressed concern over

Yeah buddy, that’s great. I’m sure my brother, who has his condition present differently than most, will be seen as disabled by the government when they already barely see him as such because he doesn’t quite match the definition they have of his disability. Fuck you and your willingness to let people die because of this bill

I literally never said that I support the bill, infact, I don’t support it. But I love that just because I’m trying to ease people’s fears and explain that THEY are safe from it is enough for you to think I support it. People have lost all rationality in politics, and you a prime example of it. I’m sorry to hear about your brothers situation, something needs to be done about that, but I’m not the enemy for helping people understand the new policies
