My Friends this is an Important blog that I am Resharing today.

My Friends today is an Important day in Medicaid Expansion!  The State House and Senate go in Session today.

We have a new development I learned about on Sunday in both the Sun Sentinel and Miami Hearld article *(Section B Local and State pp 1 and 7 B Miami Hearld ) The Legislature has to wrestle with either taking Medicaid Expansion or trying to replace funding for Indigent care which I currently qualify for.
Jackson Health Systems The Public Trust Hospital in Miami Dade county Fl is projected to lose $167 Million Dollars. Thus putting an entire county at Risk that are Uninsured. Jackson Health Systems is Ryder Trauma Center and Holtz Childrens Hospital plus a partnership with The University of Miami. If Uninsured shot or in an accident you need a Trauma Center – Ryder is The Best.

The $167 Million Dollars affects All Hospitals in Fl as this money goes toward indigent care  ! The Indigent Care program Will SunSet Thanks to The ACA. Now What do We The Uninsured Do ? This is a potential disaster for us ! Yesterday I went to the ER because of a Respiratory Illness. It was Bronchitis.  I am ok i couldn’t see my primary care clinic as a walk in so I had to go to the ER. BUT IF HOSPITALS CLOSE or Cut Access to care many will die needlessly !
I read a quote on Medicaid Expansion from New  Fl House Speaker Steve Crissafulli  (R- Meritt Island ) ** Seource Sun Sentinel Sun March 1,2015 Editorial Page “says he is a never -say – never kind  of a guy”
I and the 1 Million UNINSURED in Fl hope so. Facing No Indigent Funds is an ugly disaster. So Please Fl Senate Do The Right Thing #ExpandMedicaidNow.  Thank you God BLESS
***UPDATE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Fund For Indigent Care is From The Federal Government LIP LOW INCOME POOL – That Will Expire due to ACA it was hoped all would be Insured ! **Seource Miami Hearld article  Sun March 1 2015 Section B Local and State PP 1 and  7B
** Since writing this I am not Eligible For Dade county Jackson LIP CARD due to my inability to provide documentation they accept. So I again am also 100% Uninsured too
