Wondering how people will react when there are massive numbers of nursing home shortages and people in their 50s and 60s have to take in .their elderly parents.

No risk analysis and the Republican Congress owns it.

Exactly! It’s also just not the elderly. So many, like myself, with disabled children rely on this. Or, those who can’t afford other insurance. It’s an absolute shame that this safety net, which impacts so many, is at risk just to give those who don’t need more money, more money. Disgusting! 😢

And so sorry for your situation by the way.

Thank you. He’s amazing, & in many ways I’m so blessed. Friends w/kids who have comparable diagnoses, their kids are often in the hospital. One currently is in PICU. My son is so much better off medically than many, & yet still so far off than the majority of kids. Thank you for your kind words. 💙

Aw! God bless you and your family.

Totally. And of course you’re right. And the ripple effect will be massive. Millions of people (mostly women) will be forced into caretaker roles. Over time this will have a massive effect on the economy.
