Be sure to check your kid’s Halloween candy I just found these critical life support supplies that disabled children don’t have access to due to late capitalism supply rationing in this snickers bar.

This meme is comedic because it uses the GI Joe format to remind disabled people to act in solidarity with each other

This meme is comedic because the characters from Mean Girls are using the term “losers” comedically, anyone who gets in the car to protect Medicaid is actually a winner.

Medicaid matters at every stage of life. But right now, some Members of Congress are pushing forward a budget resolution that would cut $880 billion in lifesaving care. We can’t let that happen. Join us in DC for a #ProtectMedicaid vigil. JOIN US —>

We joined @booker.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social during their vigil today to talk about how Medicaid keeps disabled kids from being sent away to institutions, letting them stay at home with their families instead Here's @elenahung.bsky.social introducing Little Lobbyists (1.4x)

In addition to posts about Medicaid, I also have an ultra specific axe to grind with the Global Engineered Device Supplier Association (GEDSA) because I hate EnFit syringes so much. The reasons I hate EnFit are myriad and entirely valid.

Headline should be: The Three States Where Poor Adults Won’t Immediately Lose Their Health Care if Congress Cuts Medicaid Medicaid cuts are bad because it’s bad when people can’t get health care, not because state budgets will go brrrrrrrrrr www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/u...

The Three States That Are Especially Stuck if Congress Cuts Medicaid (Gift Article)

States that were once reluctant to expand Medicaid now have their state budgets tied to the fate of the program by constitutional amendments.

We have in fact cured lots of kinds of cancer… but what if we really wanted to turn people into dinosaurs…

This meme is comedic because who is to say that comic book villain ozymandias would do a worse job…

This meme is comedic because much like cutting your own bangs because a tik tok trend told you it was easy is a bad idea, cutting Medicaid is a bad idea… except that instead of looking silly, people will lose their health care and die.

This meme is comedic because while Medicaid home and community based services (portrayed here as sexy Homer) is actually deeply dysfunctional mess of waitlists and complex rules that make it hard to access care at home (portrayed as the clips on Homer’s back fat)

Meme of Homer Simpson with his back fat clipped away from his body to make him appear sexy.

This meme is comedic because it uses the “is it cake?” gameshow format wherein cake is realistically decorated to look like non-cake items to demonstrate that lots of things that aren’t explicitly called “Medicaid” are in fact Medicaid. Cuts to Medicaid affect lots of things.

Jenny McLelland @jennymclelland.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

This meme is comedic because it pretends that my stupid memes are important. I reality, my memes don’t change policy but at least they inform the public, in that every time I post one I get a mom of a baby using a Phillips vent saying “the ventilator is recalled, no one told me?!?!!!”

This meme is comedic because Futurama’s Dr. Zoidberg yelling “your health care policies are bad and you should feel bad” is the core of all my health care advocacy.

This meme is comedic because Gru is excited at the idea of escaping the nursing home, but then discovers to his dismay that he can’t escape the nursing home because the Medicaid Waiver has a waitlist. Usually Gru’s plans fail due to his ineptitude, but this failure is due to the policy failures.

Four panel Gru meme with a sign

Panel 1 - I want to get care at home instead of being forced to live in a nursing home

Panel 2 - I apply for a Medicaid home and community based services waiver

Panel 3 - they put me on a waitlist

Panel 4 - they put me on a waitlist

While the general rule is that blue states are generally better than red states at helping disabled people get care at home, blue states still play budget games with Medicaid HCBS waivers. It’s embarrassing - even deep blue California has people stuck in nursing homes because they’re on a waitlist.

Three frame Spider-Man and Maryjane meme

Frame 1 - Maryjane tells Spider-Man “tell em the truth I’m ready to hear it”

Frame 2 - Spider-Man tells Maryjane “it’s not just red states being terrible, blue states have waitlists for HCBS waivers too”

Frame 3 is Maryjane crying

Yeah but the i3 mega is still my favorite and I love her so much even though she burns through thermistors

Three headed dragon meme with two cool dragons and one comedically deep looking dragon

The cool dragons are labeled ender 3 and cr-10, the derp looking dragon is labeled anycubic i3 mega

This meme pretends that the lyrics of Rose and Bruno Mars hit song Apt. refer to Medicaid home and community based services being provided in the apartment in question (and not in a nursing home), rather than the “kissy face kissy face”and “party all night” that is actually part of the song.

Album cover with photo of Rose and Bruno Mars with the text “all you gotta do is just meet me at the apt with Medicaid home and community based services like nursing and attendant care”

This meme is comedic because if you wanna be my lover you gotta deliver services in home and community based settings. The implied subtext is that the spice girls wouldn’t be interested in a romantic partner who favors institutionalization of disabled people.

Spice girls meme with five women holding signs.

The signs say “if you wanna be my lover you gotta deliver services in home and community based settings”

This meme is comedic because it uses Hank Hill’s pointed and accurate commentary about how Christian rock music doesn’t make Christianity any better, it just makes rock and roll worse to illustrate how Medicaid work requirements don’t help the economy they just ruin people’s health care.

Meme of hank hill talking to Christian rock musician with the original text saying “you’re not making Christianity any better you’re just making rock and roll worse”

The text has been modified to read “you’re not making the economy any better you’re just making Medicaid worse”

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Me: that’s the gap between private duty nursing hours that MediCal has authorized and hours that can actually be staffed because the rate MediCal pays for nursing is so far below market rates. (This is both comedic and accurate)

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Me: that’s the gap between home care that disabled people are entitled to receive at home under Olmstead v. L.C. and services that are actually funded through Medicaid.
