Before I left Wisconsin, I had to get a real ID. I’m disabled. I said I’m using it to vote and it was free. This is a lie. My mom had my birth certificate. I did pay for an extra just in case. It took 15 minutes at the dmv. I don’t like liars.
Too many Wisconsin families are struggling to make ends meet, and instead of that being his highest priority, President Trump is focused on a bill that will make folks pay for IDs they don’t have and force rural Wisconsinites to drive long distances just to register to vote.
There’s a lot of nuance to this, and it’s different for every Wheelchair user. But the fact is she paid zero. In this case, insurance actually worked the way it’s supposed to.
My mom just got a prescription for a new wheelchair.
AFTER insurance, she's being charged 600. Luckily she has a second insurance that is covering that portion.
Looked up the exact model number on Amazon, it's only 250 bucks there.
The US healthcare system in a nutshell.
I love my life, wouldn't change it. I don't look for a cure. I just look at making societal changes that would not change any other person's life other than universally designed for everyone to use every space. It's not a politics problem, it's a society problem.
There's so much fear-mongering, doom and glooming, and general misinformation about this memo. I did read all 39 pages, took notes. I strongly disagree with the opinion. It CAN cause a lot of destruction. It's something that needs desperately to be discussed at a national level
I don't care that I'm disabled. I have never once wanted to end my life because of my disability. People with disabilities actually rate their quality of life higher than people without disabilities. So disability makes you uncomfortable, not us.
As a born + raised @packers fan, I want to thank @MicahhParsons11 for inadvertently advocating for people who use wheelchairs + scooters during the Pro Bowl today. Your injury may be temporary, but I LOVED the visibility of you can have fun and participate even if you can't walk
