Leukemia tried to define me, but I’m busy redefining healthcare activism instead. 💁🏻‍♂️ YES ON PROP 50 IN CALIFORNIA

Republicans in Congress voted today to fund $73 Billion for war and $10 Billion for a Trump backed pay to vote scam that makes it expensive for Americans to vote in federal elections. We the people get increased costs on everything; including healthcare and more corruption. #HealthcareNotWarfare

Imposter syndrome is real - advocating for others when I can’t seem to advocate for my own. I’ve recently been diagnosed with heart disease, but can’t afford more tests/scans, and I’m also caring for my beloved dad (dementia). So here I am, humbly asking for help. 🙏🏽 Please vote in Nov. /x

Reinstatement appears to be on the horizon, but without knowing a “horizon date,” and going so long without a paycheck, our savings are now depleted. My (ret.) husband even decided to take Social Security early due to our situation, but it’s not much. This is why I’ve barely been online. (🧵)

These waivers provide therapies, specialists, meds, etc, we couldn’t afford otherwise. *The waiver also provided my job as Critter’s home healthcare attendant. We’ve had one Medicaid Appeal, now waiting on a second. The financial and emotional toll has been devastating. (🧵)

Good morning, friends.💙 My little family’s been fighting the system for over a year, but we’re in trouble. TX Medicaid waivers - IYKYK. After waiting 11 years to be approved, Critter finally had these needed benefits for 10 yrs before they were abruptly terminated in Feb. (🧵) gofund.me/ab5629c3d

There are real people suffering real consequences under Donald Trump’s reign of terror and errors hurting the American people. Trump’s heartless cuts to healthcare and exploding cost of living have created a crisis for many families. For those that can, please help those in need. 🙏🏼❤️

Meanwhile at the White Trash White House last night the main event wasn’t even in the ring. Fights were breaking out on the lawn everywhere under the light of fireworks. Not since the White House burned down in 1814 have we seen so many battles. Sign! 🤡

The War Powers resolution just passed the House! This is a massive win. Leader Jeffries stayed consistent while Republicans led by Speaker Johnson ran away and went home. Now we get to watch vulnerable Republicans who voted against it lose in the Midterms. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Cancer completely took over my life 10 years ago. To this day I struggle to take care of my self, the two years I spent obsessing in the kitchen perfecting bone broth became my therapy. With healthcare gutted for this war I’m leaning in even more. Article link in comments: #HealthcareNotWarfare

Trump and his Republican enablers in Congress cut healthcare, but give unlimited funding to sustain a war in Iran that nobody wants. The cost of gas and groceries have increased significantly while you struggle to afford medicine. Vote them all out in November! #HealthcareNotWarfare
