My Friends This month I celebrate an Unhappy Anniversary ! It was 30 years ago this time I became Uninsured ! I suffered an Asthma Attack at age 16, and they dropped me from my Family’s policy ! Saying it was a Pre Existing Condition and it was not ! Ever since I have been Uninsured relying on Friends, Family, and Charity for my Medical needs !  And I am Sick of It ! I want to be Insured #ExpandMedicaidNow Allready !

You see now Thanks to President Obama (D) who got us the ACA (AFFORDABLE CARE ACT) (OBAMACARE) .With help From U.S. Speaker of The House (D) Nancy Pelosi ,and U.S. Senate Leader Harry Reid (D) ,  Insurance companies can no longer discriminate over Pre Existing Conditions ! This also is the case with The SCHIP (STATE CHILDRENS HEALTH INITIATIVE PROGRAM) championed by Former U.S. Secratary of State, U.S. Senator from NY, First Lady,  and Current Presidential candidate (D) Hillary Clinton.  This too covers sick kids ! I wish I had it then. This was also championed by #SinglePayer advocate, Presidential candidate and U.S. Sen Bernie Sanders (D) Vt. And The late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy (D) Ma. Thank you to All !

But We had a chance in Fl to #ExpandMedicaidNow and #CloseTheGap ! We had a BiPartisan Plan (A Healthy Florida). Authored by Fl Sen Andy Gardner (R) Orlando. But Fl House Speaker (R) Steve Crissifulli Merritt Island killed it ! FL Governor Rick Scott (R) demonstrated willful indifference to it ! Leaving Myself and 1 Million others in Fl in Healthcare limbo !

After 30 years of this I am sick of it period ! Sick of seeing hard working peoole like Charlene Dill die young ! Sick of seeing my Friends Amy Rodriguez and Gen Rodriquez beg for care ! Or use home over 4he counter  remedies to stay alive ! You see Gen needs $10,000.00 worth of Medicine for Respiratory Illneses to stay alive ! Without Insurance its impossible to afford ! I too am sick of begging for care !

But We are not alone as Clinics and Hospitals due to budget issues may close. Clinics in Fl had a budget of $9 Million now of $4.5 milliin yet to be approved.  LIP (LOW INCOME POOL) Funds (HOSPITAL CHARITY CARE) Funds dropped from $  1 Billion Dollars to $600 Million Dollars ! Too much ground to be made up ! Leaving We The Uninsured in Limbo Facing Death Needlessly !

It is just disgusting to live this way ! When Insured You take your card out and worry about getting well ! We The Uninsured go through this process :
1. Go to Emergency Room and Beg for Care
2. Worry about Getting Well
3. Worry about Paying The Hospital, Doctors, Ambulance,  and other Medical Bills !
4. Have to Fight For Hospital Charity ! Some may not qualify or offer it ! 5. Face Bankruptcy from Debt !

I am sick of the indifference of Gov Scott ! We ask little I really hoped when the ACA became law I would be a participant in it ! Not a bystander begging for it ! Yesterday I talked to A Cornell University Professor about this. She like many, when I tell them was surpised by how long I have been Uninsured ! And It is too long !

A Celebration of  still being Uninsured  I hope not to have ! But one day to Celebrate being insured like others and have dignity ! When We #ExpandMedicaidNow #CloseTheGap in Fl !

So my Friends I close this again asking you to help us All ?

Thank You
