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.
