A Heartfelt Video on The Road Ahead with Social Security & Medicaid

This is a Heartfelt Video on The Road Ahead with Social Security & Medicaid, that was originally recorded & posted on social media on April 14, 2025 but I'm sharing it here in case it might be helpful. As a film writer & podcaster, I'd much rather be spending this time recommending a film I think you'll love that you might have missed, but I think right now, it's important to look out for one another & this video is my attempt to do just that with as much earnestness as possible.

This is a 100% apolitical video, I'm not here to pass blame, scream, or judge anyone for their beliefs but rather just offer some concrete steps you might want to start taking to protect yourself & your loved ones if you're worried about Social Security & Medicaid, especially if, like me, you're disabled & dependent upon these programs in order to function in society to the best of your abilities. I'm not an expert; I'm just going off of a lifetime of living with a complex condition & some of these ideas might resonate more than others but I hope you find some of the information valuable or at the very least interesting.

One area that I really wanted to focus on was how you can help the people in your life now and in the future if you're not personally immediately affected by these changes but want to be an active advocate or offer real assistance when able. To this end, I tried my best to give everyone interested a potential role to play or action they can take within their own communities or circle of family and friends. Thank you so much for watching & I'll get back to talking about movies again in a minute.

Note: Even though again, this isn't a political statement at all (& I wish you all peace), I am turning off replies for obvious reasons. Thank you for understanding.
