These direct action protests weren't nearly as well-covered by news stories as those in 2017 that helped fight off Medicaid cuts and repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Participants included [Little Lobbyists](https://littlelobbyists.org/?ref=disability-thinking-weekday.ghost.io), [ADAPT](https://adapt.org/?ref=disability-thinking-weekday.ghost.io), and [The United Spinal Association](https://unitedspinal.org/?ref=disability-thinking-weekday.ghost.io). If there were other groups involved too, please mention them in the comments.
