If I don't have health insurance I'm as good as dead. I've been so fucking worried about this.

I need you to make calls to Congress because on Tuesday, the House Committee responsible for Medicaid is meeting to slash funding for Medicaid—the health program 80 million Americans rely on, the health program that has kept me alive.

I am in the same boat. I get a shot once a month for my anemia that costs $2500 and without it, I’m as good as dead. I’m fortunate to have insurance from my job, but I fully realize not everyone has that. The GOP is the death panels they warned us about

I have severe anemia as well, so I know how fucking awful that can be. I'm very glad you have insurance from work and hope it stays that way!

We shouldn’t have to constantly fear for our lives because the wealthy don’t want to pay taxes 🤬

The stress and fear only makes it worse too, like, I'm exhausted.

Sending incredible love to all of you worrying alongside me. 💛💛💛 It's not something I wish we had in common.

Accepting gifts from a foreign power is a violation of the emoluments clause! Will Congressional Republicans do anything about this blatant bribery?

You and I both know the answer. There are maybe 3 or 4, non-MAGA republicans left in the office.

I am terrified as well. I’m on MAWD as my medications would be more than I make per month without it.

My ass needs to be on a transplant list. They won't unless you have insurance. 🙃 Prescriptions man, I'm so sorry, I know people getting absolutely fucked on prices for meds. I hate that you're scared too. Miss ya Karla. 💛

The sticker price on my meds is in the neighborhood of 10k/month USD.

JFC, my friend. That is horrifying. I do not want that for you.
