Hi parents. I hope it is ok to post this here.
I am so scared of what is going to happen to me and other people like me. I am not considered disabled and I live in a nursing home. I’m am 59 years old.
There is so much talk about the proposed cuts being made to Medicaid and other programs. If Medicaid gets dismantled I and many others will be out the streets dieing.
I have an adult son who has severe mental health issues and lives in a boarding house type place.
Living with him is not really an option. I just don’t know what is happening. I can’t sleep, can’t eat bad just worry all the time.
I could really use some reassurance that things will be ok. And a hug.
