Pity Party time: Republican has sadz about Medicaid loss

I was browsing earlier today, and I saw this headline in The NY Times:

Apparently a "principled" conservative from North Carolina is disappointed in the Kabuki dance the Republicans in Congress did over the summer to pass the OBBBA, also known as "Let's fuck the poor, to give more money to the rich" act.

Part of their depravity was to cut nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid, on the assumption that most of those fucking moochers are too busy using that healthcare to sit in their mother's basement playing Nintendo, or some fucking shit like that.

Anyhow, this Conservative (who totally fucking voted for Trump because, of fucking course she and her husband did) has a 4 year old, severely disabled child that has truly horrible disabilities:

Expecting David to be stillborn, we were amazed when he was born at term. At the hospital, after M.R.I. scans revealed strange imbalances in the size of his brain, we were told to expect him to die from intractable seizures. To our surprise, we were eventually discharged. There was nothing more to do — no treatments, just waiting. I thought David would die overnight.

But David lived. We celebrated his fourth birthday in July. I do not understand the course of his life; I am simply grateful. David does not walk, talk or eat independently. He is visually impaired and has hearing loss. He has an unrepaired cleft palate open to protruding brain tissue, covered by a thin layer of mucous membrane. Developmentally, David is like a 10-month-old baby. He is our joy, and it is our privilege to parent him.

Ok, that sounds awful, and the fact that they are dealing with this is admirable. I can't imagine the sacrifice that it must take, as well as metric butt-loads of cash for care and medical interventions.

She continues:

Caring for David is holy work, but it takes a village. His extensive medical conditions mean he meets the criteria for institutionalized care. But because of Medicaid, David is able to live at home, where he belongs, surrounded by people who love him.

So, the tax payers are footing the bill for what sounds like a heroic amount of healthcare at home. And you know what, I do not mind my tax dollars being used for this. Certainly better than paying to shuffle the tangerine shit-gibbon to Mar a Lago...

Anyhow, because Republicans dominate the legislature in North Carolina, the following will not surprise you one bit:

... North Carolina’s CAP/C program is majority-funded by federal dollars. States must now consider how to meet anticipated budget shortfalls when federal Medicaid cuts take effect over the next few years. Before the passage of the domestic policy law, when you paid your federal taxes, a fraction of your money helped support children like David through Medicaid. This ensured that their lives remained a communal responsibility and collective effort, reinforcing their value. That moral imperative has now disappeared. Children’s lives are quite literally on the line.

Yet even before the far-reaching impacts from the reduction of federal dollars will be felt, North Carolina state legislators have chosen not to fully fund our existing Medicaid program for the upcoming fiscal year, resulting in a $319 million gap. These dollars can still be appropriated by the state legislature before Oct. 1. But if this funding need goes unmet, there will be real-world consequences for people like David and me, and the rest of our Medicaid village.

So, let's get this straight:

• You are a Conservative
• You almost certainly voted for the Turd Blossom and Republicans for state offices
• You have a tragic need for public funds to cover obscenely high medical costs
• Your shitbag State legislators are being shitbags and going to leave you out in the cold.
• So you take to that liberal Rag, The NY Times, to protest how bad this situation is (and it is)

Let's see if she takes any responsibility, shall we?

Not really, she plays the pity card:

Let me be clear: North Carolina’s Medicaid program is being voluntarily reduced, even before federal Medicaid cuts take full effect as a result of Mr. Trump’s signature policy act. While North Carolina is one of the first states to reduce its Medicaid program, cuts like these may soon arrive in other states, too.

Families like mine are struggling to make sense of this rapidly shifting landscape. Lack of clear and accessible information, fear of impending federal cuts and proactive state reductions in Medicaid have left me and others confused and angry. Parents of disabled children don’t have the time to hunt down details buried in evasive political jargon that have the potential to upend their lives. Moms like me are simply trying to keep our heads above water and keep our children alive. Life with a child like David is hard in ways I cannot fully explain — unless you have also cared for a medically fragile, physically disabled and intellectually impaired child 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for four years.

I'm sorry ma'am, you don't even get the grace period 'til after the 2026 election to attempt to blame this on Dems should they retake the house, but your fucked up state legislature is giving it to you without lube on day 1 of fiscal 2026 (October 1).

I am out of fucks. You voted for your legislators, you voted for the MouthAnus in the Oval Office, and you undoubtedly elected a Republican to represent you in Congress, so I am going to be cold and callous, you did this to your self. The leopards are coming to eat your face because you voted for the Leopards Eating Face party.
