My Friends I wrote a Blog that was published by House of Public Discourse Called No Reason for This We Need Medicaid Expansion. This is a post that I wrote on Facebook talking about this on June 14 2014 almost 1 yr ago. That inspired that Blog from House of Public Discourse. I am rewriting this as a Blog. The points are as relevant today as then.

My Friends We have two pressing problems that are at an intersection ! Medicaid Expansion and Gun Control. Both are public Health crisises waiting to happen.

The Intersection is all violent shootings that have gone on this week. If Uninsureed and shot and wounded you face huge Medical Bills ! Normally you may not but in the RED STATES THAT ARE REFUSING MEDICAID EXPANSION.  YOU WILL HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF YOU ARE A VICTIM OF GUN VIOLENCE. !

Two of the Worst areas of Uninsured are Miami Dade County where I live and Nee Orleans Louisiana.  THIS MUST STOP, ! It is no coincidence that poverty is off the charts in these cities.

Poverty is part of the problem with gun violence. But the real problem is the powers that be. The Federal State and Local Governments are sitting on their hands while many who are sick are  dying ! In need of Medicaid Expasion Doing Nothing !

Ironically the same people who are opposing Medicaid Expansion are also fighting Gun Control too.!  Last yr in my City Miami Gardens Fl an 11 yr old girl Tequilla Forshee was shot and killed in her own home ! Not by assailants entering the home but in a drive by on bycycles.  She was waiting for her Grandmother to braid her hair. A Safety Issue and Needless Death !

Plus many of you have seen me post on 32 yr old single mom of 3 Charlene Dill who died of a heart attack because Fl would not Expand Medicaid.! 2 deaths that could have been prevented but No Fl could care less ! Treyvan Martin and Jordan Davis were also needless deaths by gun  ! We are allowing people to die at an alarming rate…..and there is NO REASON FOR IT !

Yet we have gun nuts parading around Target  like it is a police state  with assault rifles ! (This issue was resolved Last year ) But is still going on in other stores. Scairing Moms and kids to death ! Plus we see separtist  hate groups killing police and Government Officials.

The irony is the same people who were encouraging this behavior at Target last yr and other stores are also opposed to Medicaid Expansion. We face Hate Like Never before……and it must stoo before we are stopped. There is hope however as a Moveon Member I learned of a proposal to Expand Medicaid by bypassing the tea party led State Legislatures and giving the money directly to the Local Authorties.! Who have alot to lose.  Local hospitals and trauma centers may close.without Medicaid Expansion ! Which means if you get shot you may not live.

As an uninsured person being shot as an innocent victim is my worst fear ! I live in a violent place No Matter Miami Gardens Miami Dade County  City of Miami Ft Lauderdale Hollywood Broward County . It is All over ! Not a day goes by without someone getting shot . It happened at or near two supermarkets I shop at and my church.

That is why we need  both Gun Control and Medicaid Expansion to save lives ! Plus the mental health issue – treatment of the mentally ill or those in crisis could care and will save lives ! And It May Be Your Own !

We must unite our lives and way of Life are at stake. ! The events in Las Vegas (Last year) are proof of this. Many with guns are good people ! But many are plotting to destroy our way of Life ! This is a critical time in America ! These problems must be solved before election day ! Yes we should #VoteBlue but some may not live until election day to do so ! And that is my concern RIGHT NOW ! Many Can Not Wait ! Please All tell me your ooinions on on Medicaid Expansion and the proposal I mentioned. Do you think cities should have tough gun laws instead of The Federal Government ? Thank you All God Bless
