"Millions of Americans are expected to lose health care coverage through President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful” tax and spending law — and LGBTQ+ Americans, who rely heavily on social services due to high rates of poverty and disability, are among those who will be most impacted."

The #UnitedNations is not ignoring the treatment of #Disabled folk in UK. On 7.7.25 they sent a letter to #UKGov reminding the government of previous and ongoing serious failings to ensure #DisabilityRights and to protect people with #disabilities.

The link is to a downloadable document replete with quotations from previous communications with UKGov highlighting their heinous breaches of #UNCRPD.

Adelaide 2011/12 neighbour called police for welfare check when I was on holidays.

Yes, I admit it was embarrassing to hear at uni that the police had been looking for me.

This year in BNE, RE told judge I “chose” to live “that way” (possum in roof) after being refused assistance for my #poverty #disabilities & exhaustion from all providers, #auspol & NPO.

Judge agreed.

"The Medicaid program that pays for in-home care for Daniel and 8,000 other Missourians with disabilities allows family members to be compensated for caregiving, but only if they’re not the legal guardian of the person they care for. So, Gallagher went to court to give up her rights to make decisions for her son and transfer authority to her parents."

KFF Health NewsTo Keep Medicaid, Mom Caring for Disabled Adult Son Faces Prospect of Proving She Works - KFF Health NewsA proposed work requirement would make Medicaid expansion enrollees prove they’re working or meet other criteria. Most already work, but millions are expected to lose coverage if the provision passes, many from red tape. A Missouri mother who cares for her disabled son would probably be subject to the rule.

People who fake #disabilities for any reason get on my nerves is a way few other things do.

I am very #disabled myself and need several professionals to help me function through life, and navigate systems I would have otherwise been overwhelmed/confused by.

They make me look bad, and make me worry people think I'm faking all this. Even things happening in real life that deeply frustrated and hurt me.

To see people faking it for clout or money is extremely insulting.

#Republicans scrambled to respond, many politically attacking the #nonpartisan #parliamentarian, while #Democrats said it would be devastating to the #GOP package.

Sen. #RonWyden, the top Democrat on the #Senate #Finance Committee, said the GOP proposal would have been as much as a $250 billion cut to the #healthcare program, “massive #Medicaid cuts that hurt #kids, #seniors, Americans with #disabilities & working families.”
