That’s exactly what they’re hoping we’ll do.

We have to keep the future disaster of Medicaid (and SNAP) front and center, from now through the 2026 midterms. We cannot let people forget what’s down the road.

Even before the BBB was passed, my current ACA plan notified me that they won’t provide coverage in my state in 2026. This shit is real! And I’m so pissed about the timing. Tax cuts for billionaires went into effect immediately. You’ve noted the political ramifications of delaying these Medicaid changes until after midterms. It makes my blood boil. Which is not a covered pre-existing condition.

We DEFINITELY have to tell the voters that this !💩💩💩💩 is coming after the midterms! Of course the breaks are for the big donors who DO NOT NEED THEM!🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

Oh yes, I'm reading and following the journey you're sharing with us, and pray diligently for you every time I see your latest writing. I hear everything that you're saying, whether I've experienced any part of what you're saying or not.

On that note, it's about 90% not having experienced it, so I keep this in mind. But there is that 10%. Moves across continent? Wanted, unwanted, beneficial and not? Check. Health problems (at a very early age)? Check. Religious issues, oppression, and utter lack of faith? Check. (Ref., your Mormon experience. Had my own struggles, but not with that specifically.)

So yes, we're with you. I am honored that you would share all this, even though I'm sure much is out of necessity, and even that you would take the time to respond to so many of us personally. Continue taking good care of yourself. I'm amazed at how good a fight you're putting up, and how clear your reporting is.

I'm sorry you're having to jump through hoops! This administration cares nothing about people or human life. Continue to tell us about your journey and we'll try to help in whatever way we can! Hang in there!
