Hard to imagine someone voting to take away the barest of healthcare coverage for poor/disabled Americans and passing on the savings to those who are already well off.

The leopards are licking their lips in anticipation.

But MAGA knew exactly what they were voting for, right? My sympathies for their plight going forward are therefore severely constrained. I’ll save it for the non-Maga.

Disabilities don't know party lines. PCA and respite care services, diapers and communication devices, medical supplies and more. I am prepared to keep raising my special needs son alone. It's a humbling experience to be hated for simply wanting to be alive.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how much the Dems decry this attack on Medicare/Medicaid, the Repubz will simply vote for these cuts and then it will pass due to house majority, right?!
And next will be social security, correct?

What is the actual winning strategy that WILL stop these cuts?

It only took 53 days.
Now, by executive order, Handpicked incompetents and doge is how he will do it.

Aren’t there any House Republicans? We can target to support the people over the billionaires? Why did billionaires need a tax cut? Their tax cut is the reason for the current deficit. Why isn’t this being communicated to the people with the Republican representatives???

Trump is giving you lots to work with here. Let’s get those Rhinos to vote for what is right!

We should have suspected this was coming when Medicaid's website was shut down.

Elon Musk called these Americans the "parasite class" while he owes his business success to government subsidies.

Republicans hate those in need and only want to inflict harm on them. Democrats want to expand healthcare and other services to help those in need. Why do the citizens of this country not understand that?

Another Death Blow to the Health care system. Like half of the Trumpers aren’t on Medicaid!

siyeh.bsky.social•2 days ago

as someone with Long Covid, if this passes it's basically a death sentence for me. I need consistent access to about 15 medications just to maintain a low but fairly stable baseline.

was the price of permanently disabling me too high for the sake of The Economy after all, you fucking jackals?

Thank you Congresswoman Sara Jacobs. Appreciate you telling folks how these Medicaid cuts will affect their lives

Here’s a list of all senators and representatives direct dial numbers, as well as all committees direct dial numbers.

Their offices have to log calls, not emails. CALL EVERY DAY! Phone bank these bast*rds!

I work with families of children who are severely disabled and Medicaid is their only option. What happens when the child needs a new wheelchair because the brakes aren’t working? Or a tube feeding machine and supplies? Or a Speech Generating Device that allows them to communicate?

This is the worst administration in our nation’s history! It’s terrible what they’re doing to all of us. Be vigilant and fight for the programs you need and those you love.

At worst, they suffer. At even more worse, they get trotted out in a couple of years for a politician's campaign to highlight the suffering.

Hi, I have high functioning cerebral palsy and I’ve also been studying the psych of authoritarianism for the last eight years. I’m a therapist. Back in like 2017 my friend with different disabilities and I were talking and she said “they won’t kill disabled people the way Hitler did (1/2)

lacefishnets.bsky.social•2 days ago

They’ll just take away their Medicaid and Medicare.”

Here we are. People will die.
