    I’m a registered Republican who just watched her party spend much of the summer pushing through new cuts to Medicaid. I’m also here to tell you why I’m an unlikely supporter of the program. My son’s life depends on government assistance.

    What does she mean unlikely supporter? She supports the cuts? Or she supports Medicare? It doesn’t really look like an unlikely supporter when your child literally depends on it now is it?

      She means she’s an unlikely supporter of medicaid. Unlikely, because she’s a fucking asshole who votes for the party that demonizes people who need medicaid. What she doesn’t realize is that she is made from the same mold that all Republicans are: they’re against anything that could help people unless they personally could benefit from it.
