My Friends if you didn’t hear it yet I have some sad News today ! On Thursday July 23 2015 MSNBC Announced the cancellation of my favorite Political Show ! The Ed Show with host Ed Schultz !

This is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT TO WE IN THE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY ! Ed was our voice and champion ! Being an Activist who was blessed ,lucky f,ortunate,  and priveledged to have my tweets and posts aired I said Now What ?

My goal was to talk to Ed about being Uninsured in Fl ! I am one of one million in Fl ! To raise awareness to #ExpandMedicaidNow and the plight of the uninsured like myself Amy and Gen Rodriquez .  I am disappointed. 

I say this to Phil Griifin head of Programming at MSNBC : Who is the VOICE of The Fast Food Worker Union Member Teacher Enviormentalist and Healthcare Advocate on your network Sir ? Ed was that for the poor workers sick disgusted and disabled !  Who speaks for Us ?

I remember a tweet I had it was one of the first that made air :”My Governor Rick Scott doesn’t care if I have healthcare !”
And getting :” #ExpandMedicaidNow ”  on air too ! I was thrilled but I had alot of support from many in the @edshow #edshow #Teamedshow communities ! I would try to get on air and I finally did ! Edshoe  was not just a forum for me to raise awareness on Medicaid Expansion but on Local issues such as Miami Dade County where I live cutting Fire Service and closing Libraries in 2013 ! I did this on Twitter @FredChristian10 and before @FredChristisn3 too ! Plus on Facebook at Fred Christian. Ed answered 3 questions I had too !

So Mr Griffin how do you replace such a great forum ?  You can’t ! It gave ordinary Americans like me a voice in things promoting issues and causes many in MSM (Main Stream Media ) ignore . Please Mr Griffin there is a need for the edshow ! I understand I was a Communications Graduate  myself ! All about ratings and the business side of things ! But edshow was special it gave ordinary Americans a Voice in things ! And had one of the best Voices for the Middle Class and Workers – Ed Schultz host it !  You can not fill that void ! We the middle class and poor need more Voices For The Voiceless ! Not less on TV and other Media !

So my final thoughts are that if no @edshow We must : BE THE MEDIA if the Media ignore us and our causes of #ExpandMedicaidNow #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter #PoorLivesMatter #Poverty #RaiseTheWage #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #UrbanRenewal #FastFood #FightFor15  #StopTheHateBeforeItStopsUs #StopVoterSuppression #VoteBlue
#GoonsDoNotBelongInLawEnforcement !  We on Social Media must promote #Truth #Justice and #Peace ! We now are : THE VOICES FOR THE VOICELESS ! ”
I want to say Thank you to All at @edshow #edshow  #Teamefshow my friends I am privileged to have met you all ! A special Thank you to the man himself Mr Ed Schultz who I may not meet but am blessed to have had fight for me as an Uninsured Person !  Ed you are our champion and A Voice For The Voiceless ! – I Thank you We The Uninsured Thank you and #ExpandMedicaidNow Thanks you for all you do for We The Workers and Middle Class in America !

The MEME FEATURED WAS DONE BY Fellow #edshow #Teamefshow member Wallace Ingalls @VoteBlueCrew ! – Thank you my friend I appreciate it !

My Friends I wrote two blogs this year based on Previous Facebook Posts I wrote last year. They were No Reason For This We Need Medicaid Expansion and At The Crossroads Medicaid Expansion and Gun Control. This Post I am ReSharing was the inspiration for both posts.It was written on 6/3/2014 on Facebook.

My Friends we have new potential problems concerning Medicaid Expansion. But the good news is they are solveable. But the Good news  is they make a Great Arguement for Medicaid Expansion is desperately needed.

The First is Gun Control given the recent shootings and the tradgedy in S.California. last week things need to change ! My heart goes out to anyone over the past 20 years who lost someone due to a senseless shooting. I often would watch the news and see a victim of a shooting. For a long time I lived in Ocala Fl. A Place where few were shot. But I used to think as an uninsured person. If someone gets shot and has NO HEALTH INSURANCE WHAT HAPPENS WHO PAYS ? Then I moved to S.Fl and not a day goes by without a shooting ! A few happened close to where I Live and Even in a Shopping Center Parking lot where I shop at. My Family and I have been lucky so far ! But I Fear being a victim not just that I do not want to die but being uninsured there is no way I could ever pay the medical bills ! So I am and have been fighting for THE UNINSURED on this Issue Too !

Secondly if peoole with mental health issues had access to care with Medicaid then maybe we could stop tradgedies before they happen ! Then the excuse of “I can not afford treatment will be gone !

But we do not need these lunk heads saying That Gun Control is Bad. We should be responsible in society ! The NRA is Promoting irresponsible behavior ! Sure call the guys at Home Depot nuts **! (THEY PARADED IN THE STORE WITH ASSAULT RIFLES) addded this today to explain what happened then. But N.R.A. why did you not stop this event ? You are guilty of the greatest Public Health Threat Gun Violence ! By doing nothing you by silent action endorse this behavior ! And is leading to needless deaths and injuries of our Old Disabled and Kids !

Then another issue came up THE VA SCANDAL ! It is Horrible to treat OUR WOUNDED HEROES LIKE THIS ! They Deserve Access To Care ! And If The VA can not get it done put them on MEDICAID and let them go to a Dr or Hospital in their community. Rather than let them wait sick and suffering. And left to die like some recently were ! This again is a good reason for Medicaid Expansion ! Plus many Vets need Psychological Services so they do not snap and harm someone !

These two problems are Mental Health Nightmares waiting to happen. But we can all do something about this !

We must #ExpandMedicaidNow people need help ! Please All like The Following Facebook pages : people suffering due to republicans refusal to expand Medicaid Expand Medicaid and Expand Medicaid Now People Need Help Issues We Face ! Plus sign not just my petition to Expand Medicaid in Fl but All Healthcare Medicaid Expansion #SinglePayer  Petitions too ! Thank You God Bless

** Uodate My Petition is no longer active and I recommend people support Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America and Everytown For Gun Safety !
*** The people protesting In Target Kroger and Home Depot were part of THE OPEN CARRY MOVEMENT ! Target has banned Guns in its stores !
Thank You All God Bless

Justice For Charlene Dill.

My Friends this picture was done by the brilliant artist Wallace Ingalls of Vote Blue Facebook/Twitter . I requested it to make a point about how important having healthcare is  ! Yes We have The ACA thanks to President Obama and his determination to Get it Done

But this Dream started actually with President Theodore Roosevelt (R) over 100 years ago. His nephew President (D)  Franklin Delano Roosevelt also championed the cause but faced a choice Social Security or Universal Health care ! He chose Social Security which was a wise choice. But he never gave up on the Uninsured. His successor President Harry Truman (D)  had it in the Platform in 1948 ! But in 1960 A Young President John Fitzgearld Kennedy (D)  took up the cause ! And President Lyndon (D) Passed Medicare and Medicaid insuring the elderly disabled  and some poor !

But Private insurers were not making sure people like me with preexisting conditions had healthcare. So President Barack Obama (D) championed the cause and got us the ACA ! Which saves lives daily !

Still not all are covered many like myself Amy Rodriquez Gen Rodriquez and 1 million in Fl sit unisured still ! Why in 2015 ? Because of ideology – That’s why ! Florida and 19 other ststes will not #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Leaving many to potentially suffer and die like 32 yr old single mom of 3 Charlene Dill did because she was too poor to pay for insurance and Fl refused to Expand Medicaid ! This was a preventable death ! Many more lives can be saved if we simply #ExpandMedicaidNow !

President Kennedy envisioned a kind America that helped all ! And was fair for those who life isn’t fair to ! President Obama gets it and wants to see all insured ! Its the humane thing to do ! We simply must stop letting ideology and expense get in the WAY OF HUMAN LIFE ! We can fulfil a Presidents Dream for America or keep it a nightmare of LIP LOW INCOME POOL FUNDS which next year end many more will be uninsured again ! LIP is a band aid and the real solutions are THE ACA MEDICAID EXPANSION and Eventually Single Payer ! …..So I for one want President Kennedy’s dream realized of a kind America and an end to this nightmare of selfish greed hate and a lack of compassion ! Which do you want ?
Thank you God Bless

My friends this is the Final Part of my series How Not To Run A Community ! This focuses on a letter to The Editor of The Ocala Star Banner I wrote in 2012 before I moved away from there. It deals with an issue I know quite Well Healthcare and Hospitals ! Our Community Hospital Munroe Regional Medical Center was over 100 Years old and a Great Public Hospital ! It saved my life a few times. But was on the Block to be sold if a 1/2 cent tax failed to pass. Due to revenue losses treating the uninsured like me.

Safety Net
Why Change Something that isn’t broken ?
Munroe Regional Medical Center is a safety- net hospital for those of us who are uninsured. Our Hospital MRMC is a Crown Jewel in the area.
If it turns into a For Profit hospital where do the uninsured of whom there are many in this area go ? Where do Pregnant Mothers go ? Because as we all know For Profit Hospitals do not Provide these services. The reasons no profit and High Insurance rates.
If MRMC does not stay a public hospital it will be a black eye on our community.  The idea of a sustainable community is to have services for all the people-not just the priveledged.
Wake Up residents of Ocala/Marion County before it is too late. Don’t let the powers that be take away a vital reseource.
Demand that any changes to MRMC be voted on by us, the residents of this area, so we don’t become like other communities without safety-net hospitals
Fred W.Christian Jr
Ocala

Final thought I mentioned this in several #ExpandMedicaidNow blogs and guess what in 2012 MRMC was sold after the 1/2 cent tax failed to Shands UF a For Profit Hospital corp. So we face this in Fl still and nationally ! Do ee want #SafetyNet Hospitals or Not ? I Do ! We must save Hospitals and #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Thank you God Bless
