Oh so because I was born with a medical condition I “cannot contribute enough to the nation” and therefore don’t get healthcare anymore? Makes sense to me 🥲 (I’m literally dying)

I tried explaining this to someone yesterday and they kept trying to argue about it like I got so mad I didn’t even read their reply, I just said my piece and left bc you deadass can’t change some people’s minds when they think everyone benefiting from Medicaid is a lazy bastard who doesn’t wanna work

The fact they allow Medicaid to cover MAID before it will cover the needs of living disabled people or people who need hormone therapy (for a multitude of reasons) is just the cherry on top

Yeah it’s kinda fucking disgusting, you really can’t count on physically and mentally able people to stick up for you, and self advocacy can be hard when you can’t get out of bed

You can say that again. My dad will be talking with me while I’m literally unable to move and somehow try to find a way that the policy is a good thing

Healthcare for the poor and disabled is wasteful but dumping billions into the military, ice, and police budgets is responsible policy here in America

Give them 13 billion dollars in tax revenue to pay for the hundreds of police misconduct lawsuits that keep happening because the police cant resist the needless use of violence.
