Let's separate Medicaid myth from fact • Kentucky Lantern
Medicaid and its recipients are being misrepresented, resulting in divisive and misleading rhetoric. It is crucial that we examine the facts carefully.

What other conclusion is there except that Trump wants to poison the people here? Make the most carcinogenic energy source practically required but fire all mine inspectors, all black lung doctors, all the cancer researchers, and then cut Medicaid... All in the places you want more "precious coal."
Trump calls for more coal as his administration delays new black lung protection for miners.
Long awaited silica rule was to take effect April 14.
It's now delayed until August.

The Christ I learned to love would never defend such cruel stupidity & neither do I. As for me and my church we will be a haven not a hell for every one of the beloved children God has made: gay, straight, trans, bi, unsure, in-between, no exception. Shame on the legislators who passed this.
HB 495 - A bill that allows the currently banned practice of conversion torture and restricts trans Kentuckians from accessing HRT through Medicaid has PASSED - Here is what you need to know:
If you are feeling despair, you are not alone. Please call Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860.

Disgusted and distraught. Our government should not be making enormous changes to bills under cover of darkness. Tell your elected officials that you expect a transparent legislative process, not last minute amendments without inspection from the public. 1-800-372-7181

I’m increasingly convinced that abandoning belief in the dignity of the human person—even the fundamental sacredness of life itself—in favor of edgy nihilism or political pragmatism will lead us nowhere.
