I know downfall of the US empire and all but it’s genuinely disheartening to know that vulnerable people who rely on Obamacare/Medicare/Medicaid are going to find themselves in a very tense period as they go through the administration with the constant worry of “will they or won’t they do something that takes me off of it?”
Oh boy I’m fucked.
I have multiple preexisting conditions. Skin cancer x 3, COPD, Barrett’s esophagus.
lol jfc
Yeah with Dr. Oz now being in charge of my medicaid I have no doubt I'm going to be kicked off it and I'm on psych meds :yea:
Solidarity with all my possibly soon to be non-medicated comrades.
Shit looking bleak.
give the poor guy back his esophagus
Lol nope
It’s what happens when the esophageal lining undergoes a change from esophageal lining to stomach lining, to deal with severe acid erosion.
Next step is esophageal cancer.
They’d still have to repeal it through Congress, no? Unless the Republicans want to finally kill the filibuster for good, it likely won’t happen.
I think so, but to be honest this administration is going to aim for the fences. I’d not be surprised if it happens.
Ah yes, I knew replacing Matt Gaetz was a terrible idea. He’s evil but incredibly fucking incompetent and unqualified for the job, democrats should’ve promised to confirm him, that’s way better than this
