My Kid's Disabled, I Can't Vote Red Anymore
I have always believed that one's political views are the result of a compilation of his or her experiences. I consider myself an independent because I simply can't get on board with all of the main pillars of either major party's platform. Although I have leaned Republican in past elections (on foreign policy, military budget, states' rights, and fiscal conservatism), I have realized over the past couple of years that I can no longer vote for the majority of Republicans.
Why not? It's simple. I have a disabled child. And Republicans are doing everything in their power to make his life harder. Before being immersed in the special needs world, I didn't know what I didn't know. I didn't know how much families with disabled children are affected by legislative decisions and how life altering it can be when services are taken away. Many of the state early intervention programs that got my autistic child to where he is today are now in jeopardy because Republican lawmakers cannot see the value in giving disabled infants and toddlers therapy now allowing them to reach a higher potential in the future. The outpatient therapy that has helped him so much is consistently harder for families to access. With the repeal of the ACA many families will lose their only chance at accessing life changing therapy for their autistic children.
The proposed cuts to Medicaid not only affect families who are in a specific income bracket; they affect future disability benefits that our children will need as they age out of the education system. These cuts also impact families who have other insurance but use Medicaid to fill gaps in coverage for their disabled and chronically ill children. How can these lawmakers look their constituents in the eyes when they are knowingly pulling the rug out from under their families? And many Republicans are fighting against my son's quality of life so openly and so blatantly that I can only conclude they simply do not care.
As much as I understand...
