Long time fan of co-ops here and appreciate the Twin Pines name. But I am curious about some of the economic issues. If everyone is on Medicaid, that implies everyone is living below 138% of the federal poverty level. So presumably no one is paying any income tax? Does anyone get wages that would allow them to get an Earned Income Tax Credit? How much are you paying in property taxes? What are the local political issues that particularly interest the community?

I think I speak for many of us when I say I'd like that story too!

Let me tag onto this question to ask how is your relationship with your sister now?

Yes! I used to work with people with HIV and once I asked a client why he was so private about his diagnosis. He said it was because he'd like to stand around a water cooler and talk baseball and not have everyone asking him all the time "but how are you?"

That's horrible.
