    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.
