What about Question 2?

That only works if the money could go directly into the ABLE. If it spends a millisecond in a regular checking or savings account, SSA can ding them.

Yes to this! My mom did every single thing the PT told her to. She had fabulous results, and the knee implants lasted far beyond the years expected.

We discovered that the funeral home had charged us much more than if we had gotten them directly from the county health department. But at the time, with a lot to deal with, we were glad for the convenience.

Guessing that's what they tested to get their FDA approval, so that's all they can legally say to do? Our daughter does wear it on her arm, but she's had to start using a little plastic cover and over patch to reduce pressure lows.

I wanted a mattress that didn't off gas and wasn't made of wool (allergy). Tuft and Needle fit the bill, so I took the leap of faith to order online, and I love it. There was an introductory offer on a new model (this was several years ago), so I got a healthy discount.

RFK Jr. and Oz attacked California for its Medicaid home care, citing growth as proof of fraud. For @motherjones.com, I reported on how the growth isn't proof of fraud, and growth of participants is proof the program is more accessible than in other states. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

California does Medicaid home care well. They're being punished for it.
Republicans are deferring $850 million from the state because of unfounded fraud claims.

Paralyzed at 7, she fought for the life she wanted. Medicaid cuts threaten to take it away.
For a half-century, U.S. policy has pushed to keep disabled Americans out of institutions. Now Rebecca Anger and others fear that era could end.

This is what I’ve done and for the same reason. As a caregiver, it was very helpful to vote by mail, but after a lot of ballots were greatly delayed in our county last year by the USPS, I can’t take a chance any more.

It’s charming he thinks when I watch tv, I am not concurrently checking BG & giving insulin, troubleshooting CGM issues, working on PAs, completing paperwork required of paid caregivers, assuring hydration, repositioning in wheelchairs, ordering med supplies, and assisting with medications.

It was heartening to witness such a big turnout for No Kings in Evansville, Indiana. #HoosierSky #NoKings
An estimated 2000 people, some holding signs, stand while listening to speakers at the Four Freedoms monument, which consists of four stone pillars and a plaza.
A woman carries a sign that reads Stop the War, Start the Trials and another sign that reads We Stand with Immigrant Families. The Ohio river and about a dozen people are visible in the background.

We went to a demo garden that had raised beds, hanging pots on pulleys to pull down for watering, an elevated lawn so a wheelchair user could transfer onto grass, and a fountain that ran down a wall into a trough a few inches from the walkway so one could reach out and touch the water. Pure joy.
