My Friends Today I want to Tell you about two courageous Women Karen M. Clay and Amy Rodriquez. Both are Moms But both are also also very passionate advocates. Not Just in the Community but at The State and National Level too. Both have advocated at The State Capitol Tallahasee, and in Washimton D.C. Meeting with Legislators to better society for those who really need it.

I have blogged about my Friend Amy Rodriquez and Her hard work to #ExpandMedicaidNow for her daughter Genesis Rodriquez. But She not only advocates for Genesis but herself too. Amy is Uninsured and has a painful neurological disorder called Fibromyalgia. Many days she is suffering in pain. But on She fights so others can have a better life.

But She is Not alone Karen Clay too is a Great Advocate for the Disabled. She right now is helping Us to #SaveMedicaid so her Son Michael Phillips who is Disabled can receive Care at Home from her, and Not go into a Facility where his care will not be as good.

There is An Old Saying:

Listen To Your Mother.

• Well sadly and Actually Factually members of the U.S. GOP SENATE and House didn’t They are Cold Hearted and willing to and have Arrested Protestors in WheelChairs. This is Disgusting, Creul, and Inhumane.

But.Two Moms Are Leading the Charge to Change things in Our Natiom. Amy Rodriquez and Karen M Clay. Both showing that We As A Nation Need to Show Love and Compassion for Our Sick and Disabled. Amy by Holding A Sign wherever she can with her Daughter Genesis Rodriquez Face on it. The Text Reads :

I Have Cronic Lung Disease Please #ExpandMedicaidNow

I.will post the pictures of Amy and her advocacy as Well as One of Mucheal Phillips – Karen M Clay’ s Son who is disabled. (PICTURED BELOW) I want you all to study and think.not just about Healthcare but how We As A Nation Treat each other.

I also if you have not done so yet ask you to Please Watch : The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell where Ari Melber interviews both Karen M Clay and Michael Phillips. It is Very Moving and will teach you something

Amy and Karen Show Love, Tolerance and Compassion. Do You America ? Will You Rise Up to Stop This wave of Hate and Intolerance towards those who can not fight back. ?

The Choice is Yours America

Thank You

God Bless

My Friends I have a few thoughts on The GOP attempt to Dismember #Medicaid.  As You all know i.am #Uninsured That is Why I do this so No one suffers like i have. Medicaid Expansion would help me and those I Advocate For greatly. But if Medicaid is Cut it won’t happen

So I want to dedicate this Blog to A Very Special Group of People. The Disabled Community. Especially All those arrested by Capitol Police while protesting. And also Karen M. Clay and her Son Mucheal Phillips who articulated well on An interview with The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.  Guest Hosted by Ari Melber. You Are All My Heroes and an Inspiration to me as a Disabled Advocate.  

So We now begin. Yes the GOP is At it again. They actually sank lower into the sewer this time. They want #TrumpCare and #TaxCuts For The Wealthy to succeed so bad that they will gut Traditional Medicaid.  

Who Does This Affect ? 

1. Senior Citizens 

2. Senior Citizens and Anyone in A Nursing Home or Assisted Living Facilaty. 

3 The Disabled Community and Their Caregivers **If Home Care For the Disabled is Eliminated many Disabled will have No where to go. Thus ruining their Quality of Life. Plus Medicaid provides OutPatient Services for the Disabled. 

4.  PUBLIC COMMUNITY HOSPITALS: They get 1/3 to 1/6 of Revenue from Medicaid The ACA and Medicare.  Thus meaning Your Hospitals will close, refuse Service if You are Uninsured or Close Community Health Clinics. 

5. New Mom’s and Their Children. 

Now I will give you some examples in Human Terms 

 My Friend Genesis Rodriquez who has chronic Lung Disease and recently had a baby. Without Medicaid which until Pregnant she went without she almost died. Medicaid saved her life by getting her proper Medications thus allowing her to give birth with one functioning lung to a healthy Daughter. 

But Now She her daughter and other Moms and Kids are at risk. No reason for it Putting a flawed Plan and tax cuts before human health and safety is disgusting. 
Michael Phillips A young 20 something  year old Disabled man. Who due to his disabilaties is on a Stretcher and  can not speak . He depends on a Computer to act as a voice for him. He depends on Home Care from his Mother Karen M Clay. A Great Advocate for him and other disabled people. And his brother Brian Clay. Without Medicaid Michael would not be home. He. Would be in a Facility and I guarantee his level of Care would not be as good as what his Mom and Brother give him. 
Amy Rodriquez is the Mom of Genesis Rodriquez.  She is an advocate and The Community Liason For Our Future org #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact.  Amy is Uninsured and suffers in Pain from Fibromyalgia daily. It is debilitating to her. 

My self as a Disabled Adult who has been #Uninsured over 30 years. 

Plus My 100 Year old Grandmother who is in an Assisted Living Facilaty. The Cost is paid by Medicaid.  

 Plus All those Disabled people confining to Protest these Brutal Heartless cuts to Medicaid.  Many in Wheelchairs. 

Did it bother any of You that They Actually Physically Removed these advocates from their wheelchairs while protesting  ? And Arrested them for doing something that they are legally allowed to do ? Yes Free Speech and Peaceful Assembly it’s Called Sen McConnell  (R) and Speaker Ryan (R). It’s in something you clung to Called The U.S. Constitution.  Yet you act like you never read it by arresting those who protest against you and your inhumane cuts.

Cuts To #Medicaid and #TheACA #ObamaCare are like it’s replacement #TrumpCare It is #Deathcare And A #KillerBill.  

So For All Out There You have My Support And I SAY : #DisabledLivesMatter as Do #UninsuredLivesMatter We Must #SaveMedicaid #SaveOurCare #ProtectOurCare #TheACA #ObamaCare #Medicaid #Medicare #PrescriptionDrugs #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact and Say No To #TrumpCare It is #Deathcare And A #KillerBill 

So America Are You proud that Your Senate and Congress want to kick the Old, Poor, Sick, and Disabled to the Curb ? Or Can You Finally Rise Up and Say Enough to Sen McConnell, Speaker Ryan, #Trump and Governor Rick Scott and his like minded sick money loving cronies before it kills us All and Maybe you or someone you know or Love. Because All Life is Precious . 

I am going to post a few memes below for you to see who this affects.

They Will Be Michael Phillips Genesis Rodriquez Amy Rodriquez and Myself 

**Special Thank You to Amy Rodriquez Genesis Rodriquez Karen M Clay Michael Phillips and Brian Clay. Plus All who are Fighting this you are My Heroes. God Bless You

My Friends Good News to start with. Congratulations to My Friend Genesis Rodriquez on the birth of Your daughter. Because of this Genesis Is Finally insured through #Medicaid.  

However We Again have a problem. The Republican led U.S.  Congress and Senate want to end Medicaid as a Program. We As Americans can and Must not Let This happen. This will cause an estimated 32 to 51 Million People Will Be #Uninsured. 

The Policy affects New Mom’s like Genesis.  They will Not have Medicaid while carrying the child. And The Children will not be covered. Meaning Once A Baby is born unlike now it is Uninsured. 

No Child or Adult should go through what Genesis has. Losing part of 1 Lung in Surgery due to Chronic Lung disease at age 17. Having to take Claritin and Cough Syrup to stay alive. The reason being was Florida Did Not #ExpandMedicaidNow.  Leaving her in peril for 2 Plus years. Genesis needed Medicaid but did not have the income to pay for it. She Fell into the Medicaid Coverage Gap : Where If You make below $12,500.00 Per year You automatically qualify for Medicaid. 

Because Florida along with 18 States did not #ExpandMedicaidNow.  Genesis along with myself and 1 Million others in Florida suffer today

 But Genesis and I are not alone. An important member of Genesis’s Family her Mom Amy Rodriquez suffers too Uninsured. Amy being the Warrior Advocate she is Fights Daily for the sick and Uninsured like her.  She doesn’t want Genesis or Any Mom to go without Healthcare like she does. And as a Proud New Grandmother She is ready to Fight to #SaveMedicaid #SaveOurCare #ProtectOurCare 

This is disgusting to do this to new moms babies and Their families. I am sickened by it. Genesis and her Child deserve Better than this. But Trump Ryan and McConnell could care less. They are like their friend Florida Governor Rick Scott  (R). It’s.Power Money and a dangerous deadly ideology before the safety of their people. 

We Must decide what We As A Nation Want for ourselves. A better world for our children. That is Why I do this. That is Why Amy does this. Often times Amy is holding a sign in protest while in Physical pain from Fibromyalgia.  But the Warrior Advocate Mom #KeepFIghting For All The sign a Pucture of Genesis. I will post it in this blog. I want all who read this to think about it and act on it. This is No Game anymore people and kids really may die this time America 

Do You Want That ?

Thank You God Bless
