Everyone needs to know these cuts will be made to give a tax break to the wealthy and corporations. More cuts will be made as Trump blows our money on the Iran War. Impeach Trump now!

This is really tragic! Many people on SSI require expensive medications. Because of their disabilities and financial constraints they do not keep up with their health care. Unless they have really good. considerate family members or a legal guardian who looks out for them to make sure they to keep up with their medicaid redeterminations they get get cut off. Many end up homeless or end up in Emergency Departments where they are not treated very well. They end often end up homeless. Many times they outlive their care takers. They require lifelong support to survive.

This defunding of benefits is totally unacceptable! If The Fapweasel (Trump) were a regular citizen of modest means, he would need benefits like this. Shame on him!

Thank you for covering this underreported and most important topic! I have supported my adult daughter and now granddaughter all my life and as I enter my 70s worry daily about what will happen to them when I am gone. Families are devastated by the immense burden of care, facing significant loss of income, resources, and support. No family or individual should have to face these devastating realities without help. More and more people are falling through the cracks every day, creating further devastation.
