I would like to join this disability March because those of us with disabilities need and deserve to be heard! I, personally, suffer from fibromyalgia, depression, opted, as well as other autoimmune issues and a disease called calciphylaxis. These things make it impossible for me to go out and publicly speak out. Our voices need to be heard! We cannot afford to have our medical insurance taken away! With pre-existing conditions, it could be impossible to find healthcare. What do we do then? Suffer? Go into such debt that we become homeless? Just quietly die from something that is completely treatable with proper medical care? Many of us are unable to work and rely on medicaid. If this program is cut, what becomes of the people who were covered? Basically, all of the things that keep us alive, Medicaid, The Affordable Care Act, Social Security, Medicare..These things are all being threatened by this farce of an administration. I am “marching” to help our voices be heard!
