By the way, I HIGHLY recommend this entire season of The Uncertain Hour on #Welfare #WorkRequirements - it is eye-opening

When I heard that one of the measures in the #BigBeautifuBill would institute work requirements for #Medicaid, I couldn't stop thinking about it

Almost ALL of my Medicaid patients work, or are too elderly or disabled to do so. New work requirements will cause them to lose their Healthcare, not because they don't meet them, but because proving they meet them is complicated and burdinsome.

This gave Black women the option to turn down work cooking and cleaning for White families, and those families complained to their elected officials.

They literally wrote a law that said all able-bodied Black women HAD to work, "regardless of whether they want to or have to"

I suspect she also doesn't know the definition of the word "indictment"

Your display is beautifully done, and it's hard to fathom what that person thought would be inappropriate for children to see. I've seen more sexually explicit photos and headlines waiting in line at the grocery store . . .
