I wrote an essay (with sources! and data!) about what cutting Medicaid actually means because people don’t have good perspective on it.

    I worked in a nursing home/assisted living facility for a little while for minimum wage. I quit when I found out that they were expanding the memory care unit without increasing staffing requirements. Most of my 8 hour shifts were by myself caring for 9 adults with severe dementia that required help with everything…and they were talking about increasing that to 13 residents. I left because I did not want to be responsible for one of them falling and getting hurt while I’m stuck trying to clean up another one that forgot how to use a toilet about 10 years ago.

    There is no proposed solution. The proposed solution is for the poor people to just die already.
