Targeting the folks who can't work - is monstrous and obscene. My younger sister was walloped by #multiplesclerosis and disabled from the get-go. Very quickly, she needed more support than any of us could muster. She began to receive a modest Social Security pension. After all her other resources were spent, she became a Medicaid client, enabling her to live safely in a nursing home. Republicans at the time were also hot to gut the safety net. I wrote to Feinstein.

During the filming of “Dead to Me” in 2018 Christina Applegate began to experience symptoms that were later diagnosed as #MultipleSclerosis in early 2021. She went public with her diagnosis later that year. She has since retired from acting due to MS but now has a wonderful podcast with fellow MS-diagnosed actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler (messythepodcast.com)

"'When biomedical research is perceived to be threatened, great young people can conclude that this just isn’t a secure career,' Hauser said. 'And yet we are entering a new era where these brain diseases are understandable, treatable and down the road even preventable.'"
