My sister-in-law is like... 21 years old now, looks like a 10 year old due to cerebral palsy, wheelchair-bound and completely helpless. Almost no motor skills, but mentally she's somewhere around like 10 years old. She'd 100% be dead without Medicaid.
Caring for her is a full time job, obviously. If they gut Medicaid my mother in law is in some real trouble. She's was already impoverished after the debit/credit bomb her ex-husband left her after their time in the Navy, and then this child was a second gut punch. She should have had a shot at a decent life but when you get knocked down that hard your life is basically Walmart employee and trying to make ends meet with payday loan services.
It's nuts.
Well, she's never voted before. Maybe this will turn that around. But still -- insane. There's gotta be millions more like her.
