The only checks and balances any of congress seems concerned about is their own pay checks, and account balances.
I hate it here.
I believe (so god only fucking knows) it’s new suppliers only
I’ll find out more if I can. It’s been a fucking year 😭
Sometimes, I watch those teams calls come in, and just keep watching…and watching…and watching.. because no.
I am not here. 😂😂

Bobby and The Quacks had a VERY bad week! I summarize and read the room here:

Idk about you, but my throat hurts😭😭
Do you think you’ve made him into the maddest Nazi in the universe?😂
Best endorsement ever is pissing off or punching Nazis 😂
Yeah... If THESE guys think we're pathetic, we think we're doing just fine. #raygun

Do not obey in advance.
Don’t shrink yourself, don’t censor yourself, don’t count yourself out, don’t change your company’s policies, don’t purge your research program, don’t modify your language, don’t sit back when you want to speak up.
This is OUR America. We don’t do all that here.

It’s to be so many disqualifying “technicalities” it’s awful.
If things don’t change majorly and quickly, I’m so worried HCBS will be completely eliminated and it kills me.
There are so many parts of Medicaid- waiver programs especially, people don’t realize. This is so fucking devastating
Happy Thursday…
I’ve been swamped, so offline more, but I can’t emphasize enough how important this is.
You’ve heard me talking a lot about ASD services and HCBS.
I’ve said it before, so I’ll say it again- they are targeting the most vulnerable communities we have. It ALWAYS comes back to that.
Gahhh the Déjà vu being felt having been yelling this is killing me 😭
HIPAA isn’t the all great protection so many think it is too.
My brain has been broken- work has been A LOT. But I need to jump into this deeper!🫶🏻💚
I've been asked about how to deal with the fear of speaking out. So, I wrote about it!
Fear and Fascism.

It’s pot o’clock.
That’s EXCELLENT news!!!
(Today is a corporate sponsored holiday. If you aren’t getting flowers or chocolate, it doesn’t impact your value. You are loved. You are valued. This day is horse shit)
I’ll dive into this today- I’ve been offline and need to catch up 😭
Miss the cat interrupting puzzle time
Happy #Caturday!
It’s been a WEEK let me tell you.. so I’ve been offline more, but can’t miss any excuses to talk about my best girl 💚🐈
I’ll be back to Medicaid shortly once my brain is no longer mush. 🫶🏻

Comment period until Mar 11 about changes to the ACA for 2027. It's a LONG proposal. They want stricter eligibility and to offer more catastrophic (junk) plans

Are welcome to DM me and I can try to find resources. I’m so incredibly sorry you are facing this 💔
This breaks my heart 💔
Behavioral/Mental health is already crazy difficult to get services, and will only get worse as it’s always the first thing dropped coverage wise.
Medicaid providers can’t bill costs to someone on Medicaid, which is the hurdle you are hitting.
Idk if I can help, but you
Thanks for breaking these two dangerous rules down into easily understandable language. Comment period ends Tuesday! @hcrichardson.bsky.social @altcdc.altgov.info @msmedicaid.bsky.social

It’s horrific. I work for a children’s hospital. The fact we have had to start training employees on how to handle ICE is abhorrent.
We serve a lot of immigrants, don’t ask about legal status, and are 80% Medicaid funded.
There is a genuine fear they are going to show up and traumatize us all
💔 I hate how hard it is to get needed meds and healthcare in this freaking country. And how damn expensive. It’s criminal 😭
Algorithm"
1. Say the toxic thing
2. Wait
3. Change course and say the safe thing
(3a. Dog whistle that people shouldn't change course)
4. Take credit for having change course while secure that enough damage is already done and plenty of people will have heard 1 while missing/not believing 3.
Thissssssss 😭😭😭
