I have chronic illness & rare disease.
I am too sick to work & am having heart surgery soon.
If Virginia had work requirements for Medicaid I would be dead. Literally. I can't drink water & a central line keeps me alive.
WHY does the @GOP hate disabled people?

I just wish SSDI/SSI was workable for most people with disabilities. It’s really not. According to their own algorithms I’m supposed to be a slam dunk for 100% disability, I was fast tracked, and it was still far too slow, punitive, and unworkable.

I’m glad you finally got approved <3

I would have if I’d chosen to follow it through, but I want to make the Olympics. That means savings and an investment and forcing my body to be more functional than it has a right to be. SSDI/SSI is incompatible with my goals.

Very cool, good luck! I’m trying very hard to work with my employer using FMLA & ADA, but even non-profits who support people with disabilities don’t always support employees with them. My biggest fear is not being able to do it, and ending up on SSDI myself.

My sport (dressage) is both age and somewhat disability-friendly. I’m aiming for LA in 2028. All I need is the right horse, and my area is lousy with cheap, good horses. My training facility and support staff are free as a job perk.
