This terrarium contains dairy cow isopods and springtails. Springtails are a very tiny harmless insect that eats microscopic detritus, so decay and mold. They keep the terrarium clean!

I'm on multiple daily medications, if I can't afford them anymore I will go back to a daily 7/10 on the pain scale, I'll start having night terrors again, I'll start throwing up all the time again due to chronic hyperemesis, and I'll probably get depressed again. But the TAX CUTS.

Medicaid paid for my sons audiologists, his surgeons, his hearing aids and then his cochlear implants, plus replacement parts and follow ups and upgrades and speech therapy.

My son who is thriving at 15. But sure. I guess I'll start paying $500 for replacement batteries. To own the libs, you see.

Medicaid paid for my shoulders to be fixed. Without which, I'd be almost unable to move my arms. I'd probably have suffered nerve damage by now.

Medicaid paid for the removal of a super rare aneurysm on my kidney artery, it was positioned at the juncture of two vessels against the kidney.

"Good thing I don't have medicaid"

Is it, though? Because everyone is going to feel this eventually, including you.

If you have private insurance, GREAT! Your premiums are about to go up because demand for their service went up.

If you have to purchase a plan, good luck! Hope you don't have to pay rent!

If you, like me, have no plans and a chronic illness, I guess we're fucked together? Solidarity. ✊️(3)

When I make appointments for my son and I, I don't ask if they accept medicaid. I ask if they accept Caresource.

And even if you aren't covered by those, once most Americans can no longer afford a doctor's visit, the Emergency rooms will be full around the clock. (2)
