As someone who is the caregiver for my 75 year old mom who has RA and a history of cancer, I’m deeply concerned about changes to Medicare. I know Sharon didn’t go into it here, but Project 2025’s desired changes to Medicare (a move to privatized Medicare) and ACA rules like coverage for pre-existing conditions makes me really nervous. I ultimately don’t trust that there are educated, compassionate adults making decisions for millions of lives.

As a second Trump presidency begins to unfold and cabinet picks are revealed I can’t help but think of something Brene Brown has said about power. She speaks about power over vs power with or power to. President elect Trump’s cabinet picks are feeling like power over kind of individuals rather than power with or power to (as in; We the People…) individuals.

I am putting this thought out there wondering if I am alone in my thinking. Also, I want to express my continued gratitude to Sharon for her time in compiling these articles. It gives me a sense of calm to better understand the facts and know that knowledge is power and can lend itself to reasonable thought and judgment.
