A nation shows it greatness by how it cares for the vulnerable. Taking away healthcare and other services for the poor and disabled to give the rich a tax break doesn't show greatness. It shows how small kinded, selfish, and uncaring we can be. Please preserve the funding for the disabled.
Eric supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesPlease don’t cut Medicaid I have an elderly mother who is 86 years old! I have a daughter who is a single parent and I m older myself low income! It would hurt millions of low income, older and disabled people who need it!!
Lynne supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesEs muy importante porque en lo personal cuando comencé en el camino del autismo mi niño recibió todas sus terapias intensivas las cuales ayudaron a su progreso, probablemente no hubiera podido costear todos estos servicios.
Luisa supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesI'm disabled and so is my mom. Without snap, social security, and medicaid/medicare, we couldn't pay for our much needed healthcare and living expenses. My dad died of a heart attack waiting to qualify for Medicaid, and my stepmom works and qualified for Medicaid because of low income but she had to move and her new state won't cover her and my brother yet, so they have no insurance because they can't afford it. My mom is also disabled and relies on Medicaid for home health, medicines, her prior stay in a nursing home, and her other needs. Cutting these programs can cost lives. Please stand up and say no to cuts. We the people will appreciate it.
Erin supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesPeople with disability carry all kinds of different things besides his syndrome Toriello Carey and Pierre Robin, like anxiety or depression, and having family to take care of them is important for them to feel loved and be at home so they can feel safe. Many parents take the job of taking care of our lives one is because Family knows them best. Medicaid gives services for my son and others that help him socialize with other peers. Medical needs can put much stress on our family and cutting this program could more problems instead of solutions. Mr. President cutting senior programs and for disabled people like my son is not what we vote for. So please cutting this services is not a way to go to save money, out here are many other things to go for.
Yaskara supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesThis will affect many Americans who need the help including me who has been living with more than one medical condition my entire life
Jennifer supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesAs a healthcare professional who relies on public benefits such as Medi-Cal for my medically-complex, autistic child with Type 1 diabetes, I would find the potential loss of these benefits to be catastrophic. We would actually have to consider leaving the country because we would no longer be able to afford the basic things to keep him alive. Additionally, repeal of the ACA provision related to pre-existing conditions would make us both ineligible for private insurance.
Lisa supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesHello my 33 yr old adult son has schizophrenia and high functioning autism, and needs medical for his mental health services and his IHSS for help with taking his medications, wellbeing too live sustainably in his home. A concerned mother with a disabled adult child.
Yvonne supported: Protect Medicaid for People with Disabilities, Older Adults & Low-Income FamiliesOur 2 disabled children rely heavily on medi-cal and we wouldn't be able to cover those same services for them ourselves, even with private health insurance that we pay about $24,000 a year for, for our family of 4. They're 3 and 7, polite and thoughtful. They will be contributing members of society when they grow up so long as they can get the support they need early on. Please don't make them dependant on society by cutting off supports in their early childhood. It is a cost savings in the long run for them to thrive, work and be independent!
