#Protesters rally in #PortlandME, advocating for protection of rights amid Trump tensions

Story by Allyson Lapierre, WGME

PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Making their voices be heard on a day of #revolution, a rally on Saturday pays tribute to the #250thAnniversary of the 'shot heard around the world,' a day that marks the start of the Revolutionary War.

" 'They’re taking away my Social Security and my #MaineCare away from me...which side are you on?' Olivia McDermott, who has #DownSyndrome, said.

"McDermott came to advocate for herself and others who have #disabilities who depend on #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid.

" 'I get really upset that this is happening to me and other people with #disabilities. They go to school like this, and I don’t want people to feel uncomfortable about it,' McDermott said.

"Olivia's mom, Maura Mcdermott, is a #SpecialEducationTeacher. She's worried the $Trump administration could take away those benefits.

" 'We need to not cut the services. We need to expand #MedicaidForAll people, and we need to #TaxTheRich. Enough of this,' Maura said.

"Other protestors voiced concerns about state politics, specifically about Maine senators.

" '#SusanCollins had better vote 'no, no, no' to the #SAVEAct because those are all voting rights, and we need voting for next election,' Nina McKee, a Scarborough resident, said.

"Despite the anniversary of the #AmericanRevolution, protesters on Saturday said there's little to feel #patriotic about.

" 'I can’t even express the need for us to stand up against what is happening in our country. It is beyond consumption,' McKee said.

" 'There’s no good thing going on right now, so any change is for the better,' Duncan Potter, a Brunswick resident, said."

The Guardian US: ‘It’s a death sentence’: US #healthinsurance system is failing, say @doctors
The solution is effectively to overhaul the system entirely and then start from scratch with the national health insurance system

"Elites are reportedly ramping up security in the aftermath of the shooting of #UnitedHealthcare’s CEO. They’re especially fearful of copycats following widespread praise for #LuigiMangione online. In this video we’ll discuss 'fear in the C-Suite' and talk about why American anger is at an all-time high." https://youtu.be/UiW-LD50xD8 #HealthCare #MedicaidForAll #HealthInsurance #Millionaires #Billionaires

@old_hippie I think we should have #MedicaidForAll
I got to have it for a few years & it was awesome.
Now I’m on hubs company insurance. It actually raises my stress & anxiety with constant emails about some kind of BS, having to fine “in network” providers…..
Nothing related to medical care should be on the stock market.

@thehill

I KNEW IT — STATES LIKE ARKANSAS! Thanks Gov Huckabee! I hope one day you or yours needs to have Medicaid in a state run by the likes of Cruella deVille!!

@WorkingFamilies

The way healthcare for all could actually work is Medicaid expansion in both income levels and services, and removal from State oversight.

@Nonnie7696

I prefer #MedicaidForAll because Medicare doesn't actually pay for many of the things (prescriptions, testing) that chronically ill people need. Medicaid paid for every ER visit, for my child's specialist medical care, for my adult autism evaluation, for my cross-sex hormones, for all my doctor and specialist visits, for my dental care, and for eye exams and glasses.
