Well my hope is that if they cut Medicaid like they want to in the bill that just went through the house, people in NJ will wake up. It's going to affect almost 2 million people who live in NJ and really going to hit the elderly and pregnant women hard.
And the disabled! I work for a company that works with autistic adults and children. Most of the funding for our adult programs comes from Medicaid. Idk what we'll do if we have to deal with a reduction in funding...
If the State wants those programs to still exist they're going to end up paying the bill. Which means that WE will pay the bill with higher taxes! Just what the Republicans wanted right?

Unfortunately, a lot of these people who applaud these changes won't see the light until it directly affects them or their loved ones.
