@paul@oldfriends.liveHouse #GOP releases budget that would 'destroy #SocialSecurity as we know it'
Also, "would force #disability beneficiaries to wait five long years (instead of the current two, which is already too long) before becoming eligible for #Medicare benefits," turn Medicare into a voucher-like system.
I guess they hope #DisabledPeople would die off or something. Who knows what their mindset is.
@paul Asked directly I think only few GOP'ers - and their supporters - would say they hope disabled people will just stop being an issue by dying.
Many, however, will in fact admit that they believe those people will "find other ways" to get themselves out of "dependency", and will just close their eyes - often out of willful ignorance - to the fact that one of the ways to no longer be in need is being dead.
It should be made clear that this does not make it any better or less evil.
@jwcph While agree that their supporters might not think this, the framers of this plan and many of the other House GOP members that back it, are of the Ayn Rand persuasions... the weak either live or don't.
Also, by making disabled people wait 5 years, they get sicker and require more care by then. There's no net gain for Medicare, just 3 additional years of suffering.
I lost everything waiting the two-years, got sicker & became more dependent due to my #ParkinsonsPlus #MultipleSystemAtrophy
@paul Agree with every word. Also, deeply sorry to hear about your experience - it's quite literally inhumane, and unworthy of a civilized society.
