[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, according to this source, Project 2025 will target disabled people in the ways outlined below. Do I think they'll do all these things? Not necessarily, but I think they will try some of them, especially funding cuts. MAGA does not like federally protected categories of people and using government resources to protect them or support them financially. Why would the disabled be any different?

1. Project 2025 plans to eliminate the rights of and protections for disabled students

2.  Project 2025 would enact major cuts to key health coverage programs and services

3. Project 2025 would create even more barriers to employment for disabled workers

4. Project 2025 would restrict disability and other social benefits

5. Project 2025 would reduce the ability to enforce the ADA

I am the OP. Thank for this cite.

It's terrifying, what they have planned for the disabled. Absolutely disgusting.

from the document (and this is just a few things -- there's a whole manifesto of how to wreck the disabled):

--Project 2025 intends to eliminate earmarked funding and thus strip disabled people of access to valued educational institutions,10 possibly including the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the American Printing House for the Blind, and Gallaudet University.  These institutions provide disabled students with education and support when they can’t receive an equitable education in mainstream public schools.

--Most egregiously, Project 2025 would set time limits on Medicaid coverage or arbitrary lifetime caps on benefits, which could put millions of Americans at risk of losing coverage.25 Project 2025 would also attempt to introduce failed policies such as work requirements for Medicaid eligibility.

---Project 2025 would fully repeal the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).27 If this occurs, up to 18.5 million Medicare Part D enrollees could face increased out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs.28 People on Medicare would lose the financial security provided by the IRA’s annual and monthly out-of-pocket caps, and Medicare would once again be banned from negotiating lower prices directly with drug companies.2
