Kilmer Abrego Garcia was “accidentally deported” to El Salvador, and is being locked behind bars in a hell-hole prison.

Harriet McBryde Johnson: disabled people take conditions that people would never ask for and make beautiful, thriving lives out of them. We have to remind ourselves that there will always be disabled people living thriving lives. There will always be moments of beauty and joy.

Work requirements are a veil to create increased obstacles to access. They are unnecessary and any decreases in use come from the burden placed on those who need Medicaid.
92% of Medicaid adult enrollees are working, or are not working due to caregiving, an illness or disability, or school attendance.
