My Friends We Face the Healthcare nightmare I have been writing about in Fl. As soon as this year ! The year ended badly for 57 yr old Barbara Dawson of Bluntoen Fl. Ms Dawson was ill and went to her local hospital.   **

They discharged Ms Dawson from the Hospital too soon. She complained to them she was still ill ! They ended up calling the Police to Escort her out of the Hospital ! They did just that despite her pleas for help and that she was In pain ! Dashboard Cam showed her dying outside the hospital in police custody ! She died of a blood clot ! ** **Seource Daily Kos Jan 7, 2016 by Vann R Newkirk II

There were rumours She was uninsured and the Hospital kicked her out ! Not wanting to treat her but do only enough to get by ! This is just disgusting to let a person suffer and die like that !  Especially if she was not insured !

But We Face more of this in Fl because of No Medicaid Expansiom ! This killed Charlene Dill ! It may also have killed Barbara Dawson too !

It will get worse because Now Federal LIP LOW INCOME POOL Dollars will go from 1 BILLION DOLLARS to just $608 Million in 2016 ** **Seource Miami Hearld Sun Jan 10, 2016 ! Legislature Returns Seeking Unity P-2  By Mary Ellen Klas.

The LIP Affects me personally as an Uninsured person !  I have to use it to go to the hospital or a County clinic !  There are 1 Million of Us in Fl who face death now like Charlene Dill and Ms Dawson did ! LIP is Hospital Charity for those of us who are uninsured and too poor to pay ! It is a chance to see a doctor too through clinic programs !
But many like Genesis and Amy Rodriguez can not even qualify for that ! Which is why many die too young and too soon ! Having no Health care is an instant slow DEATH SENTENCE ! And There are DEATH PANELS ! The DEATH PANELS ARE : THOSE DENYING WE THE UNINSURED access to Good Quality Affordable Healthcare through #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Amy, Gen, and I  are are among 1 Million Uninsured in Florida ! We are pictured in several memes in this blog !

We Are The Faces of WE THE UNINSURED !! And in 2016 WE MEAN BUSINESS ! We are tired of being ; Sick, Tired , and Ignored ! So Know This Fl Legislature and Gov Scott – OUR VOICES SHALL BE HEARD IN 2016   !  We Will Put #ExpandMedicaidNow on the Ballot to #SaveGen in Florida , and the many like her ! Who suffer because of your cold indifference to Us !

So My Friends you see this creul injustice of Denying Access to Healthcare now going to a new low with another death !  America We Need Your Help ! Citizens of The World We Need Your Help ? Please join me in 2016 and say NO MORE TO THIS IN FLORIDA or Other states doing this ! In order to #SaveLives  and #SaveGen ….We Must #SpeakUpAndNotBeSilent ! Anymore ! Are You With Me ?

I am posting a few memes below by Artist Wallace Ingalls of VoteBlue Facebook and @VoteBlueNation Twitter and Theresa BrownGold Art As A Social Inquiry to illustrate my point ! The Pray for Paris meme shoes how other nations take care of the sick ! While We don’t !

Thank you God Bless

My Friends last year I wrote a Blog Titled : A Mothers Fight To #ExpandMedicaidNow ! It was about my friend Amy Rodriguez ,and her quest to #ExpandMedicaidNow. To get her sick daughter Genesis Medicaid to save her life ! But there is more to this story as I will tell you !

Amy is a Tireless Activist in her Community ! She works with Catalyst Miami to improve the lives of those in Miami and Miami Dade County ! But her cause is like mine Medicaid Expansion. Here In Photo below she is pictured witn U,S. REP Frederika Wilson (D) Miami- Dade and Fl State Sen Dwight Bullard lobbying for the cause .

But besides her tireless Advocacy and Activism for others Amy too suffers ! She too is Uninsured like Daughter Genesis, and this author ! Amy suffers from FIBROMYALGIA – A debilitating Neurological disorder that can cause severe physical pain leaving you bedridden for days sometimes !

But On She Fights for others ! In spite of the physical pain she has ! She gets up goes to work in a part time job doing Social Work in Mental Health Thus putting her in the Medicaid Gap ! She works but not enough to qualify for A Plan with The ACA AFFORDABLE CARE ACT / OBAMACARE ! She is one of many like this ! Then she comes home to help a Sick Genesis or her mom who recently had a stroke ! That in itself is a full time job !

Recently Amy had a bout with severe Headaches ! I asked her about it ! She told me : ” The Stress from the headaches does not help her FIBROMYALGIA At All ! ”
She said :”The Stress is from being uninsured not being able to care for yourself, or Gen like we should ”

In short Stress from being Uninsured can takes years off your life ! Amy has to fight like crazy to keep Gen alive ! This is a stress NO ONE SHOULD HAVE ! She has to fight for herself and others like me too ! And it is just appaling and disgusting ! That in 2016 people are still without Healthcare ! It is sad that a 42 year old woman who raised 2 daughters on her own suffers like this ! She does what a great mom does protect her kids and sacrifice for them !

During the episode she had with Headaches Genesis had a little extra money and had to help her mom buy medicine ! The same Genesis who desperately needs Breathing Medicines costing over $10,000 A Month ! Did this for her mom. A Mom who loves her kids does her best and suffers !

She suffers because of a few selfish unfeeling politicians who Will Not #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Amy deserves better than this ! For all those she helps ! Yet people make foolish political decisions based on saving money, or hate of President Obama ! …And This Must Stop ! Genesis Amy , myself and WE THE UNINSURED DESERVE BETTER ! We must #ExpandMedicaidNow and #SaveGen !

We Deserve A life of going to a doctor not sitting working In pain ! But the hardhearted insist on this foolishness ! But we shall hopefully stop them by putting #ExpandMedicaidNow on The Ballot in Fl !

This move will save Amy, and Gen and 1 Million more ! I am going to close this post below with a few photos of Amy and one with Genesis and her ! And Our #ExpandMedicaidNow banner by Wallace Ingalls of Vote Blue Facebook and @VoteBlueCrew Twitter ! I want you to look at them and think about something . Should A Mom who works hard suffer like this ? Is it Right for A Family to suffer like this ? I do not want them to anymore ! That is why I fight to #ExpandMedicaidNow so they don’t have to ! What do you want Fl, and America A sick Amy or A healthy one who helps many ?

Thank You God Bless

My Friends today I am going to write about a friend of mine who I talk alot about Genesis Rodriquez.  Genesis just turned 21 and should have her whole life ahead of her ! But she is a very sick young lady ! Genesis has struggled for years with Respiratory issues, and Asthma ! So bad in fact 4 years ago she had part of one of her lungs removed at age 17 !  This condition afeects her sometimes severly today ! The condition She suffers from is Middle Lobe Syndrome ! ** Seouces Miami Hearld article by Daniel Chang , and Washington Post article by Deanna Paquette

You look at The pictures above This is a Young Lady who should be enjoying life. Instead she suffers and is sick ! Why because She and her Family fall into The Medicaid Expansion Coverage Gap ! Gen and Mom Amy are too poor to qualify under The ACA…..But Medicaid Expansion was supposed to cover the poor of the poorest ! Yet FLORIDA REFUSED TO #ExpandMedicaidNow Leaving Genesis Her mom Amy and 1 Million in Florida Uninsured ! One of whom is this blog author too !  The Medicines to keep Gen Alive cost $10,000 PLUS A MONTH ! Not A Year A Month !  She has to use Cough Syrup to stay Well ! Not a good idea !

Genesis has a loving supportive Family and group of Friends !  I asked her about it who helps her :
” People at my job but mostly from my family , and my boyfriend . They’re always by my side when I am sick taking care of me ! ”

Genesis  has a loving supportive family and Loyal friends by her side. But it is very frustrating for her and I know them too ! Some examples from Genesis :

” I Hate going to the Hospital ! ” “Growing Up being in the Hospital so much was routine, and like my second home. I really don’t go unless I can’t handle the pain.
“Everyday I live in constant Fear, of not being able to have a future. Not being able to get married or start A Family !”
In Short according to Genesis  :”The Whole Thing is Frustrating ! ”

And As someone else who lives this nightmare I agree 100% with her !
Genesis Rodriguez and Her Mom Amy , and Their Friends  Needs Your Help Fl and America ! Her Family and Friends Can Not Afford to Pay For Her Medicines ! This will shorten the life of a 21 yr old young woman or kill her ! Who has $10,000 Per Month on Just Medicines not counting Doctot Visits and other expenses ! The Emergency Room only keeos Genesis alive for awhile ! Without acces to affordable medicines and Doctors its a moot point !
We need to give this 21 yr old A Future Filled With Hope Not Fear !  I remember being young like that ! It was all ahead of me ! Genesis deserves this too !

So in 2016 Please help us #ExpandMedicaidNow and #SaveGen !  Its not just Fl doing this 19 other states too ! How many Genesis Rodriguez’s are out there sick and suffering ! For No Reason At All ! Just over petty politics and hate of President Obama ! Gensis Life Matters to me ! …, And It Shoild to You… Florida …, and  America !  So lets give this sweet 21 year old A Chance to Live Life to The Fullest and Achieve her God Given Potential ! Gen may help many but First We have to help her ! Will you All Fight to #ExpandMedicaidNow and #SaveGen in 2016 ? For her and her Mom Amy America ?

Enough of This Inhumane Injustice ! We The Uninsured Deserve Better ! Like access to Doctors, Medicines, and A Full Healthy Life ! We can get it by #ExpandMedicaidNow and only #ExpandMedicaidNow ! For We must #SaveGen ! This 21 yr old deserves A Full life and her dreams to happen !

I am going to close this with a few pictures of Amy Gen and one of me America ! Please look at them and Think about this ! And Ask What Kind of America Do You Want A Sad Sick Deadly One in 2016 ? Or A Healthy Vibrant One in 2016 ? I want #ExpandMedicaidNow #SaveGen and The Healthy One Do You America.,,,…?

Thank You God Bless
