I have had great sympathy with the problem Obamacare has posed for people with disabilities. On one hand, many are terribly under-served by the health care system.

But now, I don’t see how the disabilities community can countenance this any longer. Democrats have supported cutting $43 billion from home health care as a way to help pay the huge Obamacare tab.
