To anyone who voted for trump and imagines they are my friend: Today, I called my pharmacy to see if someone else could pick up Julia’s four monthly perscriptions because I am not allowed to drive yet. During our phone call, the pharmacist said that Julia’s new perscription plan had not yet kicked in and so, the cost would be close to $700 for this month’s medications. I explained why I could not be there to give them her new perscription card and he found a way to access the card and apply it bringing the cost to $20 for the month.
Julia is insured by Medicare and Medicaid. Her perscription plan is also paid by a government program. All of those programs are threatened by the new republican administration.
If trump, musk, kennedy and the congressional majority does what they are planning in the name of government efficiency, my daughter will not have access to the medication that she needs. There are millions of people with disabilities who will face the same circumstance.
And if this happens, it is the fault of republicans, conservative christians and MAGA voters. The lack and loss of medical care to millions of Americans with disabilities will fall on your heads. It is your fault. And you are not my friend.
Hillary was absolutely right. Deplorables!

I am reading backwards as somehow, I had missed some of your posts. This is truly deplorable and frightening, the situation that roll backs in Medicare and Medicaid will put the the most vulnerable among us in. I do believe that a whole lot of people are going to discover that they voted against their own best interests. But this, the potential denial of medications for cost savings is inexplicable to me. Can someone please explain where the line will be drawn and how exactly this lines up with the goals of the “Right to Life” folks? And the conservative Christians? How can this be a right to life to have one’s medications that allow for life to be removed for cost savings?
I have asked anyone who voted for mango man to unfriend me. They are not and never could be a friend of mine, yours, Julia’s, or the thousands of those who are ‘other’.
