“[In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)] is a lifeline, allowing them to provide care themselves or hire a caregiver for part of the day. If they lose that, families will be plunged into economic precarity, with caregivers forced to take on additional jobs while their disabled and ill family members go without care… Without this, people become homeless. They lose their income. They lose their stability. Whatever tiny safety net they had is gone… It’s just cruel.”

Still talking about this because the uncertainty withholding millions in Medicaid funding from California and Minnesota isn’t just an abstract inconvenience — it’s the loss of care, AND the loss of that care in one’s own home and community.

Hands off IHSS.
Hands off Medicaid.
Hands off our care.
