https://www.yahoo.com/gma/house-republicans-release-2018-budget-blueprint-targets-social-132104865--abc-news-topstories.htmlpaul ryan released his budget proposal today. 500 billion cut from medicare and turn it into a voucher program. 1.5 trillion cut from medicaid.
My parents would be dead without medicare.
People will die if this budget gets passed and ryan gives no fucks. He needs to have a rusty barbed wire wrapped bat shoved up his ass repeatedly.
Fuck you paul ryan, fuck you.

I have several disabilities but other than that I am lucky to be healthy. I still say fuck you paul ryan because it hurts me more to see others suffer than it does to know that under the right circumstance I could also suffer.
