New NAME #Impact Same Goals 

My Friends Changes Can Be Painful or Changes Can Be Good. In this case this Blog Title changes From Random Thoughts The Blog By Disabled Social Media Activist Fred Christian 

To #Impact . And on its Support Facebook Page #Impact The Blog By Disabled Social Media Advocate Fred Christian. 

The reasons It works because #Impact plays a Role in what I Write and Advocate For along with my Team. #MedicaidExpansion impacts people in many ways that i have written about previously. That is why this change happened. Plus the blogs support #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact as a Page and Future organization. Plus I Really Am An Advocate NOT AN ACTIVIST . As I Fight For Causes . Please Also Note Due To Technical issues the Header i chose is Only Partially Displayed so i posted it below it 

i hope you like the Changes.  

Thank you for All Support 

Now its #InWeFight to #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact #FixHealthcare 

God Bless

My Catalyst Miami Project #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact From Social Media To The People 

My Friends i Recently Got An Opportunity to become A Better Advocate.  Our Co Founder and Community Liason of #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact Amy Rodriguez is a Graduate of : The Catalyst Miami Parent Leadership Training Institute.  And Several other Programs that this great Community Organization  Does.

It started when i wanted to Speak at My Community where i Live.

We Must #FixHealthcare 

My Friends i am enthused for once something finally worked when it comes to Healthcare.  First A Huge Thank you to All Advocates and Activists who worked Hard Fighting to #ProtectOurCare #SaveOurCare.  In  Regards to Congress Trying to #Repeal and #Replace #TheACA #ObamaCare.  Myself and #TheUninsured and The #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact Team Say THANK YOU !! 

But There is Still Work to be Done. We Have to Fix Holes in #TheACA #ObamaCare.  We must keep It Affordable and Accessible For All.Providers Should stop bailing on The Sick !! States Must Step Up too to stop this. 

Second Our Cause at #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact Medicaid Expansion.  Good Nrws The State of  Kansas Decided to Finally #ExpandMedicaidNow For its pooest citizens giving them Dignity and #Healthcare access.  But 18 States Refuse to #ExpandMedicaidNow still. We must #FixHealthcare by Getting these States to #ExpandMedicaidNow.  Myself and Amy Rodriguez  (Pictured Above ) both are prime examples of How the Uninsured suffer.

***For Information on My Story see on This site : My Healthcare Journey Pre and Post Petition 

*** For Information on Amy Rodriguez Story See A Mothers Fight To #ExpandMedicaidNow Part 1 and 2 

We must Stop the Heartlessness ! Too many suffer sick, get sicker, and die !! Due to Lack of Access to Doctors and Affordable Medicines.  Thete are 8 Million Uninsured Currently in America in 18 States.  1 Million alone in Fl where Amy and I Live.We must #FixHealthcare and Solve The Problem.  

Plus Add In Mental Health Treatment which Congress Tried to Cut. Very Simple If People Have Access to #Healthcare Options Less Crime or Violent Outcomes or Tradgedies Occur. Plus Those Who Suffer Can be Productive Members of Society.  Who Can Contribute to it. 

Plus Lets Take VA Care and Provide Our Veterans Better Access and Quality 

Finally A Third Problem that must be Fixed . Rising Prescription Medications.  Gteat to get see a Doctor, but if you can’t afford The Medications He / She Prescribed then What ?? Again you suffer sick, get sicker and Die !! 

As Advocates and Activists We have Work to do but America We need Your Help to do this. The Actions You Took Fighting To #SaveTheACA #ProtectOurCare Was Huge  !! As Memes Below Say We Won but Thete is Work to do 

 

So I ask All Advocates in America to Help Us Get this Done.If We :

1. Successfully #ExpandMedicaidNow in The 18 States that refuse to.

2. Stop The Greed of Providers and Insurers 

3. STOP THE GREED OF BIG PHARMACUTICAL COMPANIES 

4. Transition From #TheACA #ObamaCare to #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll System

This Must Be Our Mission We Must #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact #CloseTheFlGap For All !! Then We Can Have A system in Place For #SinglePayer #Healthcare Are You With Me America Together We Can Get This Done  !! 

Thank you 

God Bless

I Phones V Healthcare Please Congress  My Thoughts 

My Friends Today i am going to weigh in as an Uninsured Disabled Advocate on Healthcare.  As you All know I am Uninsured and have been over 30 Years Now !! I Want Healthcare desperately Not just for myself but for All Americans. No one should suffer this indignity. That is why I do this. 

U.S. Rep Jason Chaffez (R) Utah has No Clue about the Sick and Poor !! Saying 

“AMERICANS WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN AN I-PHONE or Healthcare ”

Just disgusting for An elected official to say that. Well Rep Chaffez i have a phone an old one am using it right now to write this.As i am too poor to afford a Computer. So Your argument Failed with me and other poor and sick people !! Yes We have phones – not New Ones !! But We deserve dignity.  Part of that is access to Affordable Quality Healthcare. 

The #ACA Affordable Care Act does just that !!  It has saved over 30 Million Uninsured by making them Insured. But Under The #TrumpRyanCare Plan WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU 

FOR EXAMPLE :

IF YOU HAVE A PREXISTING CONDITION -IT MAY NOT BE COVERED

IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE THAT DID TAKE FEDERAL MATCHING FUNDS TO EXPAND MEDICAID. YOU MAY SEE THAT BENEFIT GET CUT OR SLASHED . Slashed to make it useless

When that happens Our Elderly will be Homeless and Go Without Medicine.  They will be Homeless due to cost.  They can’t afford it . Or Nursing Homes ALF (Assisted Living Facilities) Closing as No Revenue from Medicaid.  Thus also creating Unemployment by Healthcare Workers. 

See My Meme bekow and Think about #TrumpRyanCare America 

Plus Those Left behind 8 Million Uninsured Currently still as 18 States Refuse to #ExpandMedicaidNow.  Its #Impact beung Potential Illnesses and Death for We The Uninsured.  Like myself and Fellow Advocate Amy Rodriguez.  Both of Us pictured below.

  

For Example We The Uninsured SuJoffer Now !! We want access to Affordable Quality Healthcare. Not Slogans or Empty Promises.  We want #ExpandMedicaidNow Not #TrumpRyanCare which leaves Us behind because We are Poor. And Also due to A Hateful Political Agenda against us. We suffer now and don’t want company.  America You could be Amy or i in a Matter of Weeks . Once #Repeal and #Replace and #TrumpRyanCare in effect  So Help us #ProtectOurCare #SaveOurCare #SaveTheACA #ObamaCare #CloseTheFlGap #Medicaid #Medicare #PrescriptionDrugs and #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact 

You Can Do this online, via email, Protests or Calling Your Elected Representatives and Telling Them #SaveOurCare #SayNoToTrumpRyanCare 

Its Up To You To Save Us America 

Thank you 

God Bless

We Are Just Sick No Insults Please 


My Friends I Am  Angry Today after I saw a Commercial on TV calling Sick  People :”System Gainers” We Are Not That We just need help. I Pictured myself (Abovez) and Amy Rodriguez (Above) to Ilustrate Who Will Lose When Cuts Happen !  Because We are sick . And  Disabled We Require more help and tbat comes many times from The Local, State, and Federal Government ! In our case as sick people It comes in the Form of #Medicaid #Medicare #TheACA The Affordable Care Act #ObamaCare 

All of Which are Under Seige by President Trump (R) and U.S. House Speaker Ryan (R) . Which is why We now as Sick People are being called : “System Gainers” , and “FreeLoaders” !  Just Disgusting to Pick on The Sick and Poor ! We Are A Better People Than That America ! 

How Did We Get Here and What is Next ? 

First The Affordable Care Act #ACA #ObamaCare Is Under Attack by those listed above. With #Repeal and #Replace ? 

Who Loses with #Repeal and #Replace ?  

30 Million People who Were Previously Uninsured Due to PreExisting Health Conditions. Finally Got Access to Quality Affordable Healthcare and it Saved Lives !

8 Million Currently Uninsured Due To 18 States Refusing to #ExpandMedicaid !  The States : FL, GA, AL, MS, TX, SC, NC, VA, TN. KS, MO, ME, OK, NE  ID are the ones witn tne bulk of the Uninsured in America. ! Thus the # #CloseTheGap For those who fall into the Medicaid Gap in Florida. And #ExpandMedicaidNow My org used to promote Medicaid Expansion Nationally ! 

** Authors Note I Am One of 1 Milliion Uninsured in Florida along with My Friend Amy Rodriquez (Pictured Above) Thanks to Our Governor (R) Rick Scott We The Uninsured Stand to Lose alot ! In Amy’s Case She Is A Social Worker working Hard daily who needs a little help as Do I ! Many are like Us Suffering Silently ! Yet They Plan to Take away Healthcare and Insult You while doing it ! 

Bad Enough to take away Healthcare From Millions ! But to Belittle hard working people like Amy and Myself is Disgusting ! That is A Double Insult and Injustice ! That is why I pictured Us to show Who Really Will lose When #Repeal and #Replace Happens 

Some Thoughts Below on This By Me 

“We The Uninsured Did Not Want To Be Born Sick or Disabled or Get Sick Later On in Life ”

“We The Uninsured and Sick Work Hard Our Problem is We Don’t Make Enough Money to Buy Insurance ”

“No One Wants to Be Sick Who Is Sick !” 

“Who In Their Right Mind Would Want To Be Sick And Possibly Die ?”

“What Did We Who Are Sick Do To You ?”

“Why Do You Hate Us ?”

Now What Happens When #Repeal and #Replace Happoens :

1. HOSPITALS Allready Overloaded Now Close or Refuse Treatment ! 

How Can They Do This  ? The Law Called Baker Kerry (Hospital Charity) ** LIP LOW INCOME POOL FUNDS GO AWAY ! 

Plus Local Public Health Clinics Close as part of their Funds come from this also. 

Thus No Trauma Centers Either As Funds Go Away too !  Good Luck Accident Victims , Crime Victims, and The Injured ! 

Currently Hospitals Can Not Be A Primary Care Physician. Yet many use a Hospital like this now ! It Will Be Worse With #Repeal #Replace ! Many Will Die ! 

Had Medicaid Expansion happened People would be covered ! But Due to Pettiness over Costs And Ideology ** See Meme above ! We now Face a Huge Mess ! One where many Will get Sick, Sicker , Suffer, and YES DIE NEEDLESSLY ! 

So America I ask You This Question : 

Wbat is More Important to You Saving Lives ? Or Saving Money ? The reason For The Cuts to #TheACA #ObamaCare #Medicaid #Medicare #PrescriptionDrugs is to Save Money. 

The Way they Aim to do it is Vouchers For All Above Programs. 

Not A Good IDEA ! Why You Ask ? 

Say You Get A $1,200.00 Voucher and You have Cancer, are in An Accident, Have Mental Health Isssues or Chronic Illness for example. 

What Happens If You are one of the above examples and Your Money Runs Out ? 

A : You Get Sick, Sicker, Suffer, and Die ! A Needless Painful Death ! 

Yes The Death Panels Are Real And  Named : Ryan, McConnell, Trump, and Rick Scott ! 

Finally Thank You to All Advocates, Activists, Doctors, Nurses and Healthcare Workers who Figbt For Us ! Thank You to All who Stood on the streets and Sidewalks , atteneded Town Halls and Fought to #ProtectOurCare   #CloseTheFlGap #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact  

You Are Our Heroes ! You want We The Sick Insured and  Uninsured to Have Dignity and Live ! To Me Healthcare is Both A Human Right and Civil Right ! Is it To You America ! Are you prepared to Die witnout Medicine or Healtbcare ? Like  many Will Potentially sadly due to this Foolishbess  

Its Your Choice America Life or Death  ! Not just Yours  but that of Your Friends, Neighbors, Co Workers, Family and Yourself Too ! But Please Give The Sick #Dignity With Medicine, Doctors, and No Hate ! 

Thank You 

God Bless

AMERICA The Way To Win Are Peace Unity and Intellegence  Not Violence 

My Friends I am Very pleased to see people finally stepping up and speaking out. The Changes proposed to Our Healthcare System #TheACA #ObamaCare #Medicaid #Medicare #PrescriptionDrugs #CivilRights #Justice and #Immigration #FightFor15 #RaiseTheWage are happening Way too Fast . At A Dangerous Rate. 

U.S.House Speaker Paul Ryan  (R)  U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  (R) and U.S. President Trump are propsing changes listed above that will break up families – Immigration issues, and Kill You – #ACA #Repeal and #Replace If We Don’t stop them.

Thank You All For going out and Marching Since After the Election.  Our New President Trump didn’t realize he woke A Sleeping Giant. YOU – THE ANERICAN PEOPLE.  

But We must #KeepItUp They will not cave and neither should We . Unless or Until Comprises that help All Come. But that may be a long way off. So Get after them members of : #TheResistance #MoralMondays #RepairersOfTheBreech #Indivisible #FightFor15 #RaiseTheWage #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact #CloseTheFlGap #ProtectOurCare #BlackLivesMatter #Immigration #ImmigrationReformNow #CivilRights #Justice #DisabledLivesMatter #RaiseTheWage 

You are geeting attention and going to Force Positive Change desperately needed by many in Our Nation,  States, And #Communities. 

For Example My Area #Miami #MiamiDadeCounty We marched and Rallied For Weeks. The most recent was on #Immigration and it obviously rattled #MiamiDadeCounty #Mayor #CarlosGimenez  (R) A Trump Supporter and Who refused to Let Immigrants use his County as a Sanctuary.  He sided with President Trump and is rounding up illegal immigrants daily. Yet the irony Mayor Carlos Gimenez is A CUBAN Immigrant himself. 

But Mayor Carlos Gimenez Took offence to Protests outside his office. He Threatened to Jail The Protesters.  But U.S.Rep Keith Ellison (D) Who was with them stopped this. But  Mayor Gimenez kept it up Defaming Local Activist / Organizer Tomas Kennedy himself An Immigrant with a TV radio smear campaign.  The sheer hypocrisy of Carlos Gimenez knows no bounds.  

But Tomas Kennedy set a Great example how to make a point when protesting.He did so calmly and intellegently. This is the idea. Use of Peace and Intelligence. 

The reason is the GOP is now Fearing and rumor mongering that people may become Violent when ACA cuts happen.  So My Request to All is to Keep Calm and Keep Fighting. #Intellegence and #Peaceful Protest are Our Answer !! We must Unite on All Causes and Fronts to Form A Coalition Of Compassion For All.So if You Are A Member of :

#CloseTheFlGap #ProtectOurCare #TheACA #ObamaCare #FightFor15 #BlackLivesMatter #TheResistance #Indivisible #Gunsense #NotOneMore #DisArmHate #HispanicLivesMatter #RaiseTheWage #DisabledLivesMatter #YoungInvincibles #Immigration #ImmigrationReformNow Coalitions 

Lets All of Us Concerned Citizens new to Civic engagement,Activists and Advocates in The Streets and OnLine Join Together As A United Coalition For Peaceful Changes and Progress !! To Stop by Peaceful means The Proposed Regression.   .  The other side wants and seeks Division and Violence.  Their mentality Is Simple : DIVIDE AND CONQUER .SO By being Unified in Our Opposition We destroy their Goal.So America No Matter What They Call You or Throw At You Use 

1.#Intellegence 

2.Calm

3.Keep It Peaceful Always 

I Hope and Intend to Be Out There America  myself and Will See You There But PLEASE BE PEACEFUL 

Thank you 

God Bless

This Advocate Needs Your Help America 

MY Friends i Write Blogs and Advocate to Raise Awareness.  I am Called to Do it. I Love to help others. It gives me great pleasure.  I even advocate for myself as an Uninsured person who is Disabled.  

But Now I Really Do Need All of Your Help and Prayers. Two weeks ago I was Denied My SSI disability by A Judge . Yes i have A Lawyer . Not Sure about An Appeal Yet.i want to and will IF POSSIBLE.  

But Now i Am Faced with No Income, No Healthcare and Medicine Costs of $86.00 For 30 Pills Generic. This is A Triple Whammy !! 

The Judge Failed to Recognize Two Recommendations by Psychologists For Disability.  Plus An Eye exam 

My point being No Matter Who Is In Congress or THE WHITE HOUSE things must change Fast ! My Family Can Not Afford to Wait more Years to Appeal. The System with Disability Is Broken . Happened Since Reagan and Getting Worse. No Reason For A Judge to decide Your Fate !! Isn’t A  Doctors Recomendation Enough ?? It Used to be !! Not Everyone Is A Fraud !! I Am Not !! 

My Job Prospects Are Bleak maybe Grocery bagger again If They Can Hire Me. But will i make enough money to survive.  Probably Not  ! As it is a PART PART TIME POSITION.  

Maybe Online Advocate or Journalist Site ? Need help and Funds . 

Advocate  ? I hope to be in A Course For it 

But If Not this Then What ?? I may one day be homeless.  If i don’t Die First from Not being able to Afford My Asthma Medicines. 

But its not Just Me America  !! And IT ISN’T RIGHT   ! #DisabledLivesMatter Too America  ? Or Do We .? We aren’t Trash you dismiss and discard but Human Beings !! 

Please My Friends Help Me and Pray For Me 

Thank you God BLESS

We Need To All Be Like Dr Jonas Salk 

My Friends Today We again advocate to #ProtectOurCare.  But i want to show how Wrong and Inhumane This Congress is Repealing (ObamaCare )The ACA Affordable Care Act. Plus Cutting Medicaid Medicare and Planned parenthood.  
I begin this with a Disclaimer.  THIS BLOG USES DR .JONAS SALK AS A Reference Point. THIS BLOG IS NOT PRO OR ANTI VACCINES.  

Ok now that we are clear on this lets begin. In the 1950’s Dr Jonas Salk wanted to Heal the sick.He Invented A Vaccine To Cure POLIO . A deadly Virus that if You Lived You may Not be able to walk. **SEE PRESIDENT FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT as an example. Or left you unable to Breathe and in An Iron Lung.  A huge confining. machine. 

This bothered Dr Salk and He cured POLIO . Not only that but he took No Royalties from his Vaccine. Deciding it was more humane to heal than be greedy. 

Unlike U.S.. House Speaker Paul Ryan President Elect Donald Trump and other Fools who Do Not want Government to Provide its Citizens with access to Affordable Quality Healthcare  

They prefer Backing the Greed of Martin Shkrelli and others in Big Pharma.  Their attitude is If You can’t Afford it Well too bad. Say Goodbye to Protecting you with A Prexisting Condition. Say Goodbye to Your Hospitals and Affordable Medicines.  Because when the cuts happen this IS YOUR REALITY AMERICA  !!  

So We have A chance left to Get This Right and Tell Trump and Ryan No Cuts. #ProtectOurCare #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact #CloseTheFlGap instead.  Doing so We help our Family Friends Neighbors and CoWorkers to stay alive and Well. Thus being humane like Dr Salk was to Us All. 

Your Choice America Do nothing like Ryan and Trump want. Or #ProtectOurCare like Dr Jonas Salk would.  I left you the text to the meme to think about it 

Thank you 

God Bless

2017 We Must #ProtectOurCare America 

My Friends I am Back and with A Purpose ! Yes I am going to Continue to Advocate to #ExpandMedicaidNow.  But Now this purpose gets Bigger. 

You see with Potential Changes to The Existing Healthcare Structure. I am Talking about Cuts to #Medicare #Medicaid and Maybe No More  of #TheACA.  (OBAMACARE) .These changes will Destroy Lives and Communities. 

How You May Ask ? Well let Me Explain It To You.

First When The #ACA  (Affordable Care Act) (OBAMACARE) came into existence it was created as a. Support Mechanism For #Medicaid and #Medicare.  This  a Funding Split among them to keep Costs Low. If You CUT OR GUT #TheACA Medicaid Medicare Costs go Up.

Second : Cuts to The #ACA leave potentially 30 Million People who are Insured Uninsured again.In addition to the 8 Million Uninsured in 19 States Who Refused to #ExpandMedicaidNow.   Thus Creating an #Impact of More Deaths. Because of Inability to afford Medical Care and Purchase Medicines. 

Third : Cuts to #Medicare and Part D And #Medicaid leave our Elderly and Disabled :  to suffer sick and in Poverty needlessly.  The proposed Voucher System Can Not Cover All or Enough of an Individual ‘s Medical Expenses. Thus Our Elderly populations Face Higher Death Risk.Because Not Only Will The Elderly Not afford access to A Doctor.  But Many Can not currently afford their Medicines Right Now. And With Vouchers its Impossible to Find Affordable Medicines.  .Thus again putting Our Elderly and Disabled at risk. Plus those suffering From Mental Health Issues as Well. 

Fourth : The #ACA was created to save money and by #ExpandMedicaidNow all would have healthcare.  Thus lowering expenses.  For both The Federal Government and Its Citizens. By Cutting it you not only ReCreate An Uninsured Population of 40 Million People.  But also Raise Costs

Fifth : Many Hospitals Will Close due to No Patient Payment.  No Medicare, Medicaid ,ACA , Or Hospital Charity .This is How Hospitals are Mostly Funded and Survive. By these 3 Programs. Thus Creating Unemployment For Medical Workers also. 

So You Ask What Can I Do to Stop. This ? Four  Steps : 

1. Get Involved in Your  Community By Calling, Visiting and Writing All Elected Officials.  At All Levels :  Local, State, and Federal Level.  As All will and Must be involved as this is A Huge Problem.  

2. Contact Media Print Radio TV. Write Letters to The Editor. 

3.Take To Social Media.  Facebook Twitter YouTube and Share Information on this. Use the # #ProtectOurCare when talking about it.  

4. Join and Support Coalitions on This.

So My Friends Its Not Just We The Uninsured who suffer Now.Myself and Amy Rodriguez  (Both Pictured Below ) Tirelessly Advocate on This. And Really We Don’t Want Anyone Else to Suffer  like We Do. If Changes are made to the current. System some of You may too. Or Someone You know. The Choice Is Yours America To #ProtectOurCare ! Or Do nothing and let people suffer.  

So Please All Have A Safe  Happy New Year From Me and All of Us at #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact.  See You Next Year.

Because America We Need You to Help Us #ProtectOurCare in 2017 

Thank You 

God Bless

What Is #FixMiami 

My Friends We are entering a New Era in Government and in Advocacy in America.  Things must change and soon. Too many are being left behind.I see this in South Florida where i Live BIG TIME

For Instance in Miami Dade County and In  Tbe City of Miami it is Very Obvious. You have a Mix of High Rise Condominium Buildings being built daily. While you have Poor Urban Neighborhoods Falling apart. Its called Rich and Poor Big Time. With a Shrinking Middle Class. 

So Like Our Nation South Florida is a Mirror of it. The Problems Of Poverty: Stagnant Wages, Poor or No Healthcare Options, A Hyper-Expensive Price Of Rents. Plus Violent Crime with our Youth These are The Problems plaquing The South Florida Community. And Ironically Our Nation too.

So Due to No Results From Washington D.C. ,Tallahassee Fl, and Our Local Government.  They All Sit, Talk and Fail to Act or Willfully Ignore The Problems.Yes Problems That Are Not Going Away Any Time Soon. Or Sit on Their hands playing petty political games like Governor Scott with Medicaid Expansion.  He refused to #ExpandMedicaidNow for 1 Million Uninsured in Fl.  One of Whom Genesis Rodriguez Desperately needs it. 

So In Comes A Small dedicated group. A Radio Personality and Performer Mr Franky Faze. A Tireless Warrior Mom and  Advocate Mariamee Amy Rodriguez – ( Mother of Genesis Rodriguez ) And A Disabled Advocate For Healthcare, Public Safety, Fair Wages, Civil and Human Rights on Social Media :  Myself Fred Christian Founder of #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact on Facebook and Twitter. 

We are Tired of Build Baby Build by #MiamiDade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez. Who Favors The Rich. This mentality has spread to Washington D.C. We are sick of it. We are sick of seeing People Suffering and dying without Healthcare.  Our Workers work hard for little pay. The poor live in Sub Standard or Over Priced Housing. Our Youth dying by the gun. or leaving due to lack of Jobs.!  

Our Diverse Group came together to Solve problems.  We aim to be #Community First. And show how our problems : Can, Will ,and Must Be Solved And Soon  ! Thus the Name #FixMiami a Project Work Group aimed a Fixing Local, State, and Federal Government problems. Like Hospitals Closing due to No Funds. Or Companies leaving for cheaper workers .

So I Now Present to You Our New Forum #FixMiami Please Join Us in this endeavor on Social Media.  We at #ExpandMedicaidNow #Impact are partners in this. You will hear more on this in the Future. As We Aim to Save Our #Community From some bad ideas. And Help Heal the Hurting. By Being Voices For The Voiceless.  

Please Join Us America on this Journey. 

Join Us Miami Dade County City of Miami This is For You and For America.  

Thank You 

God Bless
