As someone on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and in HUD housing…… I’ve been terrified since Jan 20th. But I had hope that this bullshit might be stopped because I foolishly believed the Democrats would grow a fucking spine.

All these people who keep telling me I’m over exaggerating (on both sides) — especially my own family — will be shocked when I’m homeless or disappeared in the next few months.

This is a nightmare that never ends. I just want to wake up and for it all to be over.

I have both Medicaid and Medicare because I don’t make enough on SSDI to be able to afford Medicare premiums but it’s a requirement of SSDI to have it.

But…the whole point of Medicaid was that it is there to cover those who are poor because they wouldn’t be able to afford health care otherwise.

I’m on SSDI and get Medicaid and Medicare with the only cost to me being the Medicare Part B coverage that is close to $200/month. I don’t pay copays or for any of my prescriptions. However I have noticed the quality of my healthcare from the same doctor that I had while on private pay health insurance has taken a nosedive. My guess is the office doesn’t want to deal with Medicaid or Medicare more than they have to. Or my health could just be that bad, either way it’s worse.

If this proposal ends up as legislation I would end up having to pay copays for health services and prescriptions I use right now that would most likely not be financially viable. If Medicaid gets taken away from me completely I lose all access and if stopping medications doesn’t kill me then the lack of oxygen due to extreme sleep apnea will.

I’m so sick of being terrified the last few months (SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and HUD housing). Just fucking do it already and get this over with instead of fucking torturing those of us at the bottom more than we’ve already been tortured just going through the process of trying to get access to these programs.
