First they blamed the Dems for not funding SNAP
Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay
The shutdown is ending & they’re making everyone reapply and “prove” they’re legitimately starving.
It’s almost as though they spent the money and have zero intentions of ever funding it again.

A stricter ban on abortion nationwide
An end to FDA food safety regulations
A near total ban on hemp products that will outlaw THC and remove another pain control option from the market

He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums

Insulin's High Cost Leads To Lethal Rationing
Alec Raeshawn Smith was 23 when diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and 26 when he died. He couldn't afford $1,300 per month for his insulin and other diabetes supplies, so he tried to stretch the doses.
