People are not cars. They’re not houses.
There’s nothing you can do to “healthy living” your way out of disability.
It happens to almost everyone eventually, and more often than not there’s no quick fix. No easy repair.
Healthcare is a human right & these are eugenicists.

Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

Gotta love being told your disability is “secondary” to the comfort of others.
That your accommodations won’t be considered because it’s your “problem to fix”.
Disability is not a “problem”.
It’s not a failing.
It’s not something we can turn on & off.
Ableism is everywhere.

The key here is @they’re gonna feel like entrepreneurs.”
Trump knows that this is always a pathway for support from a certain segment of Americans - mostly men. The desire to “invest” and be an “entrepreneur.” Even without expertise, capital, or the resilience to endure failure.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

“Why don’t they get a job?”
Most have one.
“Why don’t they sell their car?”
Good luck getting to work without one.
“Why did they have so many kids?”
I thought you wanted the birth rate up?
Stop judging the poor.
Judge the system that enriches the elite & impoverishes everyone else.

“The goal of the health system is to increase GDP”
No. The goal of the health system is to help people.
There’s many ways to flourish without engaging in the workforce.
This is eugenicist rhetoric. Don’t work? Disabled?

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
