Snakes

According to
the modern day
snake oil salesmen
Doctor Oz & RFK Jr
we have to
work to be
worthy of
healthcare.
Many of us
are not able
to work due
to disability.
Many like me
were born with
a disability.
While others
such as veterans
became disabled
later in life.
Work requirements
for Medicaid
would leave
millions of Americans
without healthcare,
leading them to death.
Anyone who agrees
with Dr. Oz & RFK Jr
are fascists who
support eugenics.
