A Sense Of Urgency We Simply Can’t Wait #ExpandMedicaidNow

My Friends as you know the cause of #ExpandMedicaidNow is my passion ! My dad says its “My Crusade”  ! Not quite but close !  But I have a question for the now 18 States still doing nothing ? How long must We The Uninsured Wait ? How many of us must get sick and die before you get it ?

In Alaska Their Governor Gets it ! He decided to #ExpandMedicaidNow even without his Legislature ! Utah who has rejected Expansion now is talking and also is close to Expanding Medicaid !

So now We are down to 18 States ! Mine Fl still playing games ! We had a Plan but the State House and Governor PLAYED POLITICS AND  PUNTED ! Leaving 1 Million People in The Sunshine State still uninsured and In the darkness not the light ! Including myself depending on A County Clinic Program that may not be funded or could one day run out of money ! Others like. Amy Rodriquez a hard working Mom fighting like craxy not just for herself but her 20 year old daughter Genesis Rodriquez who has Respiratory Problems !

I can relate to both Amy and Genesis Rodriguez I too have Asthma snd am uninsured ! How much debt do we the Uninsured have to incur ? Not all In this Medicaid Expansion Gap have cash to buy medicine ! If it wasn’t for my dad helping me – I would have probably died years ago !
It costs approximately $600.00 a year for my asthma medicine ! That also does not count seeing a Doctor ! Yes I have to pay labs X Rays and Co Pays of $40.00 ! This is not Cheap at All if you have no income or little money !

This is why with the ACA costs wil be lower IF MORE ARE INSURED ! My State Representative Barbara Watson (D)  Fl House District 107 and State Senator Oscar Braynon (D) Fl recently visiited my Community at a Luncheon. Both stresed We need more Community Involvement in Fl to #ExpandMedicaidNow !  I spoke and told them my story ! But at the end of the day both of them are right ! We need not just community involvement Statewide Involvement but Nation Wide Involvement !  So I ask all of you who read this how long must WE THE UNINSURED WAIT ? How Many must die needlessly like Charlene Dill did ? How many who are sick may get sicker and potentially die ? How many needing Mental Health treatment must suffer ? We must get this done !

IF We Can Go To War And Find Money To Pay For It …Then There Is No Excuse Not To Make Sure All Americans Have The Dignity of Healthcare !  – That is my thought on this as an Uninsured Person ! Money should be No Object when it comes to your health or the Health and Walfare of your fellow citizens !

I hope you all think about this and Get It ! This is Urgent and a problem many can not wait forever to see fixed !  So Please take action and help us We The Uninsured to #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Thank you God Bless
