    Ah yes, my elderly mother who has a tube coming out of her kidney because they had to remove her bladder will surely be a good replacement for someone well acclimatized for working outside, doing lots of physical labor. Sure. 🙄

      I thought I read they’re not removing Medicaid for anyone over 60. The work requirement was only for 18-60.

        I work as a case manager supporting people with disabilities. Everyone from non verbal autism to cerebral palsy to the quadriplegics. This would be a death sentence, so it sounds like they want to massacre the disabled to me.

    Finally, they’re unrolling their new slavery initiative. This will really complement the prison slave labor they’re already using.
