If trumps evil bill passes

I am as good as dead. Diabetes depression and trauma perfect shitstorm building inside. Because I don’t know how I will get my meds without Medicaid . Republicans are murderers they will have the blood of millions on thier hands. We need a guillotine for all of those repuke fuckers

1. If it's any consolation, meds aren't what they are targeting. It's people who supposedly can work and reducing

federal share of extended Medicaid. And a good bit of that is two to three years away, maybe more.

That’s not to say any cuts to Medicaid are justified. Until we get universal coverage, we’ll keep arguing about who should be in this program vs another or being forced into uninsured.

2. Thanks for pointing all of this out!

I'm not going to be directly affected by the Medicaid cuts, because I am "lucky" enough to be over 65 and on Medicare. But I have been worried about what's going to happen to millions of other people as well as what the cuts to Medicare are going to mean.

If most of those effects are at least 2 or 3 years away, I feel a little better. If the Democrats can take the House back next year, a WHOLE LOT could change.

3. Very true, but their idea of 'supposedly can work' is suspect to say the least. (n/t)

4. Totally agree, it's how it is applied. I doubt anyone in a Nursing Home or on disability needs to worry. But, as most

things under trump, I'm no longer as confident.
