41. MAGA and everyone else need to get ready for that.

Tue Jan 28, 2025, 04:51 PM

Tuesday

My husband's brother died in March 2023, and my sister died in January 2024. They were both living in nursing homes, funded by Medicare/Medicaid. I'm glad they didn't live to see (and be affected by) what's happening now.
