November 15, 2017. 1 – 3 pm. Wheeling it Forward, Civics League for Disability Rights and DIA (Disability Integration Act) activists gathered outside Trump Tower to protest what they perceived to be devastating disability cuts planned by the Trump administration.
Just another day on the streets of Manhattan. Another day. Another protest.
Story continues below advertisement
Question: Will this be an assault against the disabled or is it an overblown drama created by the left? Two opposing links – from Slate and Fox News – gave me more perspective than did this protest.
Will Trump Healthcare mean these protestors no longer have access to their motorized wheelchairs?
In Third World countries, Communist-run countries, the disabled, too, often live without the most rudimentary wheel chairs, relying on the West to help them instead.
Will the disabled in the U.S. no longer get their wheels? Is this Fact or Fiction?
A short video
This was a small group of disabled activists. They brought their passion, their signs and their friends. But, were they well-informed?
Will there really be a crisis of Medicaid funds? Does the Trump/Pence Regime have an anti-disability agenda.Wish there’d been a real debate with opposing sides, so both could defend their positions. IF ONLY ….
A short Flickr Slideshow
With no free exchange of ideas, I remain skeptical of their claims. Need more information. And not from the usual instigators of the Left.
After all, what really matters …. to the Left … It’s the meme: “NO Republican President can possibly be a GOOD President.” Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Give every American the same health plan as members of congress get, at the same price.

or every member of congress the same plan as we get. since their plan is ‘free’ … and the Cadillac of Cadillac plans … lol … Give them the same retirement plans that we have, too — whatever we put away, whatever we earn. And as you said last week, Mahou, minimum wage. They’re either working to serve, or working to make themselves rich, and ‘we the people’ poorer.

Correct, their cadillac plan is 100% paid for by taxpayers.
Time for 500,000 armed Americans to go to D.C. and rout the self-serving, anti-American scum.

I have thought about what it’s going to take, because this country is clearly being governed by men and women who have gutted the Constitution, who fleece the American people, and who are crooked and corrupt by virtually every measure that we can think of. We have leaders who are traitors to our country.

Strangely enough, there are many industrialized countries that have national health plans, which are expensive, but affordable. Now that you don’t have democrats giving money to every islamic terrorist organization in the world, there should be some money available for domestic programs.

At one time my kids who live in the US could not afford Obamacare, so at tax time they received a fine, which they paid because it was cheaper than Obamacare!
Fortunately now their jobs cover them, but they still have to pay a fee when they see a doctor.

Unfortunately, I am easily befuddled, what is so complicated about health care? If America wants to see something that works reasonably well, look at the Canadian system for health care. Canada and America are quite similar, the Canadian method is not necessarily the best or cheapest, but it does work reasonably well.

If qualification for SSIDI simply was returned to the level it was, prior to the Obama Administration, there would be few physically “disabled” that would have services diminished. Perhaps, a reduction to their benefits to preobama levels, inflation adjusted. It is the cuckoo disability, that would be cut dramatically. Prior to eight years ago, “anxiety” as a disability qualifier, was FAR less achievable. Now, if one becomes “anxious” when having to work … palpitations, sweats, nervousness … and a willing physician’s statement … Remember SSIDI is for those that did not pay, into the system, the requisite forty quarters. Point of fact, close to 50% of those on SSIDI never worked. Oh, well … we shouldn’t be too harsh on those that don’t like work (it is a four letter word).

Even with the revived economy wrought by President Trump, the good news is that only two of the protestors had to miss work to attend.

No matter what Trump does the left will throw useless idiots like these out there who i will bet all i own they know nothing of what Trump plans for healthcare. They are there simply for the public to see and feel sorry for. BTW I am a vet who has been in the V.A. system for decades and i can tell you us vets have never been treated better than we have since Trump took office. When we go to the V.A. we are actually treated with care and respect that i have truly never seen before. God bless Trump!

Stupid Libs blame this bs on Obamacare bc that’s whose fault it is. If u weren’t so stupid and paid by that pig ? self hating Jew George Soros, you might actually be protesting that anti-Semite, racist Obama at his DC mansion. Can’t take the trash out of the Obamas, no matter how much dirty money they have.

I feel bad for their disabilities I honestly do but they’re being used as props for the Communists and Democrats who wish to undermine America.

these staged photo sessions are typical socialist brainwashing crap. I am crippled and 69 years old. I can pretty much see the difference between war and war related injuries and birth defects, and those pussies who do whatever their master tells them.

He forgot to mention — “WRONG.”
You’re WRONG about everything and we don’t need you as a leader of our country.

Brain transplants from democrat donors should be made available at no cost. As a democrat brain has never been used, it is perfect for insertion someone who will teach it to think.

The quickest way to disperse that crowd would be to throw out some work boots and job applications.
