should include medicaid pays billions to public schools to facilitate special ed for kids with physical & mental difficulties, it pays for specialized equipment, teachers’ aides, along with in school clinics in many schools

That's not the article I set out to write :) I've mentioned Medicaid funding disability services in other articles.

have an acquaintance who is involved with special ed in our school district and with the real possibility of school vouchers, medicaid cuts and the attack on the DOE she looks like she hasn’t sleep or eaten in weeks, she really worries these kids will suffer more than anyone realizes

We need local store managers to call their head offices & insist on legal action & local store owners to add their urgent voices to this, too, to local officials bc mayors and governors are suing trump & musk & tying it all up in court delays until we're past this koup.

The American Bar Association came out with a statement, rare for them, urging attorneys to resist with everything they've got, take on cases, go up against all of it! 😁💙 They sent it to all attorneys in all states, members of the association or not, bc they have lists of all lawyers. ✊😁

...And insurance companies most of all bc they'll end up paying out tons, for repairs, injuries ...to insured people, damaged buildings, lost inventory, damages for failed security facing crowds. They don't like riots & they have high powered adept attorneys. We need them all to resist.

We realize too, & are nauseous. This will not stand. When people are starving, jobless, homeless they'll find out it is costly bc well have widespread looting, riots, perhaps full on revolt. So we need to all tell grocery chain execs, store owners, any corporations impacted, pharma, hospitals, etc.

DOGE just cut those programs. It's unspeakable.

Two of the three co-chairs of the Congressional Community Health Centers Caucus voted for the House bill, which could cut Medicaid up to $880 billion. House + Senate will have to reconcile their bills tho.

Then that's how the rioting is measured. R officials should be careful of their own health bc I've seen MANY comments approving of LM. He + Jan 6 prove impulse control isn't universal. It will be costly to try to save $ on food. They'll have uprisings. Starving people will resort to desperate means.

When I lost my parent’s insurance as a young adult, my Medicaid application was denied and a community health center in Ohio was the only reason I could continue to receive medical treatment and medications until I got married and on my husband’s work insurance. This sucks.
