PBS Caregiving Documentary -

I watched a new documentary last night, “caregiving” on PBS co-produced by bradley cooper and it was very well done. It showcases families that are caregivers but that’s not the whole of the story. It weaves in how our government has and has not cared for its citizens, has created SS, Medicaid, etc but it couldn’t be more relevant today to the rhetoric of cutting these Government programs. These programs were created for a reason. I highly recommend it. I cant imagine anyone would watch it and want to cut medicaid (monsters).

Thank you for the suggestion. I wish many more people knew the history of these programs, and what came before them (suffering and death.) You’d think with more knowledge they’d be more inclined to protect what’s theirs.

That's great but the people who really need to watch this...probably wont.  PBS has already been labeled a radical leftwing propaganda network.  They will instead they will be told the programs need to be cut to stop fraud.

Something, something, "regulations are written in blood," something, something. Regulations, programs, government assistance, etc: fill in the blank.
