My Friends I think it is disgusting that 19 States Refuse to #ExpandMedicaidNow ! The above picture shows the parties responsible for this ! They are the faces of the Governors who will not #ExpandMedicaidNow !

My Governor Rick Scott (R) Fl is one of them ! As are  Presidential candidates Gov Bobby Jindall (R) of LA. And Gov. Scott Walker (R) Wi.  I ask this question how can you be a leader if you won’t help your citizens ?

You see Governors and State Legislature members ….When you won your elections You Took An Oath of Offfice ! Part of an Oath of Office is to Protect Your Citizens ! Be it Federal State or At The Local Level ! How is Denying Healthcare to people who just work hard and are poor protecting them ? There are 1 Million Uninsured in Fl and I am one of them ! So are my friends Amy and Gen Rodriquez ! There also is 1 Million Uninsured in Texas ! Some states finally got it and #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Great Job Montana, Alaska, Pennsylvania, Indiana ! You figured out that the nees of your people out weigh MAKING POLITICAL POINTS ! But 19 States Just don’t get it !

We The Uninsured in America did not ask to Live in Poverty ! It is Hell for many of us ! Not knowing and juggling money to pay rent,  utilities, Car payments, Food ! So we often sacrifice our health just to survive ! Charlene Dill did this and it cost her her life, and 3 kids a mom ! Not a good trade !

But because you Governors have this insane irrational Pure Hate of President Obama ! Many are suffering are sick and may die ! How is that protecting Us ? How does ssving Taxes Protect Us ? Can Taxes bring you back if dead Governors ? No they can’t but ….IF USED AS  ALLOCATED…..THEY WILL SAVE LIVES ! By refusing to #ExpandMedicaidNow these Governors have become : THE DEATH PANELS ! To many innocent hard working people who just had the misfortune of being poor ! And this is a tradegdy and every death from not having healthcare is a preventative tradgedy ! We As A Nation Are better than This ! We As A People Are Better Than This ! We Simply must stop this outrage #SaveLives and #DemandBetter from Your elected officials ! We Pay Them ! They account to All of Us ! We must #ExpandMedicaidNow !  Can you All Please help Us ?

Thank you God Bless

My Friends Today I am pleased to say I am Back ! Tropical Storm Erika was a bust ! Like GOP alternatives to the #ACA and #ExpandMedicaidNow ! But the above meme says it All ! We must get a real clue as a nation on this ! As does the one on TOP who are responsible for this !

Do people realize the GOP is Hell Bent on letting people die or stay sick ? This could happen with President Trump or any of the other GOP candidates.  Really All why do we as a Nation continue to pinch pennies on Healthcare ? Yet mortgage our future going to war ?  Do we not as a nation value human life ?

Really I wonder sometimes ! Look at the above meme featuring a quote from Bill Maher the Late Night comedian and pundit ! He actually is right ! This is Donald Trump’s idea of Healthcare !

Memo To All Who Live In Another World : THE ER IS NOT A DOCTORS OFFICE !  It is there to save critically ill people ! Like Accident Victims Asthma Attacks ,Heart Attacks and Strokes !
For example 32 yr old Charlene Dill Went to the ER several times ! But she still died ! Why because she had No Insurance and couldn’t afford medicine or to see a Specialist ! As a result 3 kids have No Mom Today !  Under Trump, Scott Walker , Rick Scott , or Jeb Care This is their plan ! To depend on a Broken system ! The ER and Hospitals can not even survive either !

Why can’t Hospitals survive ? Well too many uninsured like myself ! We go to the ER because we are Uninsured ! Not by choice ! This causes hospitals to incur too much debt ! Potentially causing Hospitals to close leaving many to die !
Can it be fixed ? Yes ! How you ask ? By #ExpandMedicaidNow in 19 States including mine Fl !
Who Are The Uninsured You may ask ? I don’t see them ? Do they really exist ? Well Yes WE THE UNINSURED DO EXIST ! We are your store clerks , casheirs Fast Food workers , custodians, Service Workers, Disabled and other Low Wage workers who just DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY to Afford Healthcare or An ACA subsidy ! Charlene Dill was this ! Amy and Gen Rodriquez who I wrote A Mom’s Fight To #ExpandMedicaidNow are it ! And I are It ! We ride buses, live in poor housing and work hard but struggle in silence to survive ! We are your neighbors ,fellow Church members, Parents of kids in schools ! We work hard and ask little except dignity !

We can not keep waiting ! We live in and with pain and suffer silently ! While many of you ignore Us ! All we want is to live a long life ! See our kids grow up ! Grow old and have peace and dignity ! Here are the Faces of Our Opponents The Governors Refusing to Lift a Finger and #ExpandMedicaidNow Look At The Meme on Top Its Them ! And down the road If this keeps up I  will have more to say about them ! But this inhumane Humanitarian Crisis must end and soon ! I need and hope to see more involved in helping Us to #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Please Get Involved ! Call your Elected Officials and Demand Better ! You will save lives ! who knows maybe even your own ! Because you never know !
Many have insurance one day can’t afford it and drop it ! So please help us #ExpandMedicaidNow America And The World ! By doing so You Act as A Voice For The Voiceless ! That Are We The Uninsured !

Thank you God Bless

My Friends normally I write on Politics Or #ExpandMedicaidNow or current events ! But part of the purpose of this blog is to help others out ! We in Fl currently face Hurricane ERIKA ! It may hit where I live in South Florida !

**** Update on This Blog Post in 2017 i went through Hurricane Irma also. It was tough in My apartment complex as 6 Buildings of 23 had No power for 8 days. Ages from 62 to 88 . So Please check on Your Elderly and Disabled Neighbors.

We Also became #Impact and are no longer #ExpandMedicaidNow

This Blog post is meant to help No matter What Year or What Storm Feel Free to Share it.

There are Five Categories of Hurricanes with a Cat 5 being the worst ! Two of the worst ever In my lifetime were Cat 5 Hurricanes Katrina – The worst disaster in American History and Andrew another Cat 5 ! You do not want to be near this if one comes ! Evacuate and do it fast if emergency officials tell you to ! Plus during A Storm Emergency Vehicles Do Not Respond after wind gusts reach 45 mph ! So if you are stuck you are stuck !

I personally rode out Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne while in Ocala Fl in 2004 ! And it was no picnic for us and we were 40 miles inland ! For Hurricane Frances we went 2 weeks without Ekectric ! With Hurricane Jeanne it was a week !

How did we eat and what did we eat ? Well it was alot of sandwhiches ! We ate peanut butter or bought deli meat from Publix or ate cereal or crackers.

There are a few tips I would like to pass along
1. Make Sure Your Car has A FULL TANK OF GAS
2. Make Sure YOU HAVE AVALABLE CASH ON HAND

Why because once the Power goes out Gas Pumps and ATM’s Do not work !
3. A 90 Day supply of Medicine
4. Water’ have at least 1 gallon per person per day (IF POSSIBLE) Plus have water on hand to Flush your toilet with. As sewer lift stations may not operate. You do this by filling up a bathtub. (Please Clean Bathtub Before You Do This)
5. Food – Cannned Goods such as canned tuna fish, samon , and Chicken work well. Peanut Butter, Bread, Crackers, Cookies, Dry Ceeal, Gatorade to help replenish you too. 7 to 10 Day supply.of all.

6. Ice – Make Plenty of it as Fl gets hot ! Take a 1 Gallon Water/Milk jug fill it until 3 in from top put in Freezer and in 1 day you have a block of ice . This can be placed in a cooler to keep food cold.

Now Stores may or may not be able to be open. Due to damages in them or Power. Publix Suoermarkets does have Generator systems in All Stores. So they should when able to be open after the storm. This way if needed you may be able to buy some food. But depending upon how long it takes to restock they may not have all products avalable.
Plus due to safety issues distribution centers close for employee safety and trucks can not run if einds exccced 45 MPH also. Literally nothing moves during a hurricane.

Finally please stay home during this time. Do not go out exploring as Emergency Personell may not be able to help you. And Call the Power Company when outtage occurs. Do Not go near Down Power Lines ! As they carry Live ekectric and can kill you ! Report them too !

7. Be Patient after the storm it may take awhile for power to return. As Lineman also can not work with high winds !

Final Thoughts I hope I educated you on this, But I really hope it doesn’t happen for us in Fl ! As We wait on ERIKA !

Update Erika Missed Us But Forgot To Add One more Important Point If Power Goes Out Use Flashlight Only.! DO NOT USE CANDLES AS THEY MAY CAUSE A FIRE !

Thank you God Bless

My friends today I Am NOT HAPPY AT ALL !  I as an Activist am NOT PLEASED ! I am seeing and hearing some very nasty posts and tweets on Facebook and twitter over the past 2 months ! Yesterday I had it ! I was a group admin and I quit !

Why you ask ? Because I am sick of the ingighting among Presidential Candidates Clinton and Sanders Supporters ! This is out of control and has been for awhile !  Do You see Senator Sanders (I or D) VT not sure taking shots at Secratary Clinton (D) ? Or Secratary Clinton (D) taking shots ar Sen Sanders (D or I ) VT ? …….NO YOU DO NOT ! So why are We on Social Media doing this ? I mean really bernie bot Hill shill please people give me a break ! Can’t you find a more productive way to support a candidate ? Do you Not realize GOP OPERATIVES constantly study Liberals and Democrats salivating to destroy us ! Didn’t you learn anything From President Obama who fights daily – while getting constant plots to ruin him and constant hate ! He has stressed unity ! Don’t you all get it ? The more hate and division we have the harder it is in 2016 ! Really people who have good friendships are dissolving ! Over this Junk !

The group I left wanted debate ! Ok fine but posting Hateful almost GOP LIKE MEMES NOT OK ! Whether your for Bernie or Hillary ! I took a Pledge as a Hillary Clinton supporter Not to bash Democrats ! And I am not ! I respect Sen Sanders (I) VT he is forcing a good debate on issues !  If this is what he wants fine ! But don’t leave us like 1980 in 2 camps Carter or Kennedy ! A dream for Wannabee Reagan Donald Trump ! Like it was for Reagan Then !

We have too much to lose fighting like this ! Critcize yes but character assination of Candidates and Supporters NO !! Do we really Want A chance of seeing thses three Republicans ; ? President Trump , President Jeb Bush , or President Walker ? President Trumps America; racist pro rich anti worker pro money America ! President Jeb Bush ? Well as my saying goes Bush’s give You Wars and Death, Riots , Bad Economies – Homelessness and Job loss and Hurricanes Katrina and Andrew ; We will all be on Rooftops in Jeb Bush America ! And Gov Scott Walker well he is a shill for Koch inc. He admitted so in a phony radio interview !

Plus making groups and pages for profit On Facebook ? How does that help We Dems ? Are all members actual Democrats ? All that does is help you and ruin a candidate or party ! Now I am not taking shots at anyone in my groups or on my friends list on Facebook. Nor am I slamming my Twitter Followers ! But if you are doing so please disclose to your members ! I respect my friends in the online publication industry ! You do a great service and are honest ! But many are not being honest some may be actual GOP TROLLS ! Yes GOP wants Bernie Sanders as Democrstic Party nominee ! And why easy win so they think for them ! ?….But if we stop the bickering We can continue the Legacy of President Barack Obama ! Or do we want the above as President ? Losing All We gained these 8 years ? No Fair wages No #ACA No #ExpandMedicaid Now leaving myself Amy Gen Rodriquez and potentially more people uninsured in America !

I will Vote Blue in 2016 ! Will You ? I will vote or Sen Sanders of Vt ! If he is our nominee ! I will Vote For Sec Clinton if She is Our Nominee ! Will you sit home and help the GOP ? ; Or participate ? I leave you with a closing thought from ME BELOW :

“Any Democrat Is Better Than All The GOP Any Day ! “; – Fred Christian blogger Founder of #ExpandMedicaidNow

The Choice is Yours Be like the above meme or Stay home and keep fighting ! Divide and Conquer are GOP ! Unity is the Democrats ! Your choice
Thank you God Bless

My Friends I am writing this as a warning to All In America ! “Do Not Get Trumped !”  – by Billionaire Donald Trump !  The posted picture says it All ! We are a very status oriented  materialistic what have you done for me lately Nation !  We follow the famous and infamous at the drop of a hat !

But this trend with Mr Trump reminds me of a bad imitation of President Reagan – who I am no fan of ! ( *** See my blog Why I Am A Democrat for information on that on this site ).   Mr Trump is Marketing himself as another Reagan ! Yes marketing – The one thing Donald Trump does well Marketing himself as a brand – A sort of Celebrity version of McDonalds ! He is using Policy by Sound bite to play on Fear while playing Reagan as a Unifying figure !

A Unifying figure He is Not ! Far From It ! What kind of person wants to deport many families Yes Intact Families ? Who did nothing to him ? Yes they are illeagal but they should be legal so we know who is here and get taxes from them ! Plus this stops sweatshops and Under table wages ! But No Mr Trump will build A Wall and send them home ! Which is impossible and could I fear turn violent !

Plus you have a Man in Mr Trump who has gone BANKRUPT ! He goes Bankrupt leaving his investors broke snd holding the bag ! Which is empty !  See my birthplace Atlantic City New Jersey ! Donald Trump will make our Nation into A Giant Atlantic City ! Run down no jobs no hope !

On The issues well he is Pro Business so forget #FightFor15 or #Unions .#WorkerSafety ….Donald Trump will do what likes to do say :”YOUR FIRED ”  He is non commital on #ClimateChange too ! Why trust him ?

On Healthcare. He wants to stop the #ACA (ObamaCare) The Affordable Care Act ! We The Uninsured in Fl would be doomed with Mr Trump ! Our Public Hospitals will go bankrupt ! Leaving many to get sick and die ! I personally am fighting to #ExpandMedicaidNow in Fl and Nationally ! There are 1 million of us in Fl ! Myself Amy and Gen Rodriguez – who suffer now ! It would be A Human Rights Nightmare if Trump made healthcare decisions ! Just the thought of this should convince more of you to help #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Because you will join us as Uninsured too under President Trump !

So you see my friends We Cannot Afford Donald Trump as President ! He is like The Koch Brothers ! But at least Trump scares them ! But his ideas should scare us all !  He simply doesn’t get it ! And seems to take pride in it ! Trump is good for TV but not as The President of  The United States of America ! Lets wake up do the right thing cancel The Donald Trump Show and tell Mr Trump : YOUR FIRED !

Thank you God Bless

My Friends I posted this meme on Donald Trump to illustrate a point ! When it comes to Our Heath Trust is A Must ! Why would anyone trust A self professed Bankruptcy King ?

Really Mr Trump you say you feel For We The Uninsured ?…. If so why do you oppose THE ACA (AFFORDABLE CARE ACT) aka (OBAMACARE) so much ? Do you not realize that It Works and has saved lives ! So What is Your Plan Sir ? Ah Yes GO TO THE ER of the nearest Hospital ! Yes that really can work !

Memo To Mr Trump : I told you this before THE ER is meant to stablize and for people suffering from Asthma Attacks Heart Attacks Strokes and Traumatic Injuries ! Not A Cold or basic illness that can be treated by A Primary Care Physician or Specialist !

So What is Your Grand Plan Mr Trump ? To Fire Us For Being sick ? I hope you realize Hospitals many public ones may close due to too many uninsured having to get charity care ! Or Go Bankrupt ?

Yes Bankrupt ! Oh yes A Term you know well Mr Trump ! Your ideas on Healthcare would leave us like Your Casinos in Atlantic City New Jersey – my birthpace ! Yes or in Fact Like The Entire City of Atlantic City New Jersey ! A town facing ruin Thanks to Mr Trump and his Casino Friends !

WE THE UNINSURED IN AMERICA DESERVE BETTER ! Than a Sideshow Self Promoter like You Mr Trump pedddling empty rhetoric ! Amy and Gen Rodriquez and myself – 3 people actually Uninsured Deserve better ! You have No Plan and want to stop something that works why ? This isn’t a business Mr Trump ! The sick and Uninsured Are Actual People like myself Amy and Gen Rodriguez !

So I say to All in America Why Trust A Bankruptcy King with Your health ? Our Hospitals Will Go Bankrupt and Close with management like Mr Trump ! Do you want that ? No hospitals no doctor to see you ? What happens to you then ? You die quickly and needlessly. ! That is Mr Trump’s view of The Uninsured in America ! It is cruel and inhumane ! So the choice is clear No Plan or A Plan to save Lives and #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Pictured Below President Kennedy President Obama who have A Plan unlike Mr Trump ! A real contrast and Real Reality Check ! Leaders and Wannabe Leaders ! Think about who you want to lead you and you follow leaders like Mr Trump lead to disaster and with your health you do not need one !
Thank You God Bless

MY Friends
This Is The Video Link to The Video From What If ? #ExpandMedicaidNow BLOG WITH YOUTUBE VIDEO

Enjoy It Thank You God Bless

Posted from WordPress for Android

https://youtu.be/ENnlfhz1H1s   Video Link

My Friends today I posted my Third Video to YouTube on #ExpandMedicaidNow #MedicaidExpansion ! I am doing this to raise awareness to this issue as it often gets ignored ! But it is too important to ignore ! People are sick and dying daily without Healthcare in America still ! This should be a National OutRage ! So I am going to Expand on my Video Titled WHAT IF ?

What If You couldn’t pay for your Medicine ? What if you couldn’t see a Doctor ? What is You went to the Hospital and Got Bills you couldn’t pay ? Well in Fl (MyState) and 19 others that refused to #ExpandMedicaidNow this is reality !

Who are these people you may ask ? Why is this happening to them ? What did they do to deserve this ? My answer nothing except be poor work hard for little pay and struggle to survive ! Many in The #MedicaidGap are working poor disabled and unable to work or homeless ! Many work 2 to 3 jobs to pay rent buy food and survive ! They are your friends neighbors co workers and Yes Fellow Church members ! Who work hard and sometimes work sick und uninsured ! Just to survive !

They are people like myself who never had healthcare in their adult lifetime ! Amy and Gen Rodriquez who I wrote about In my blog : A MOTHERS FIGHT TO #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Amy works has no healthcare and has to pay for Gen’s medical expenses too !  I can relate being a caregiver for my dad in between jobs and now disabled my dad  other family or friends most times paid for my Medicine and Doctor Visits !

They Are : WE THE UNINSURED OF FL AND AMERICA ! We work pay taxes and just need help ! Why we are sick or injured and need medical attention !

So I ask What If ?……..You Were Us ? If you had to haggle with a Hospital after visiting its ER ? Because you can’t have a Doctor to go to ? What would you do if you lost your job or were Homeless and Got Sick and couldn’t pay for YOUR HEALTHCARE ? Or Were injured and couldn’t work ? Or got a Catastropic Illness ? Or got sick Like Charlene Dill did, and could not afford to see a Doctor or even buy medicine ? As a result Charlene Dill died way too young at 32 leaving 3 kids orphans ! Because of choices of Food and Shelter for her family or save herself ! It’s a bad choice to make ! No one should have to make it in 2015 !

Many fail too see the reality we face As We The Uninsured ! There are 1 million of Us in Fl thanks to Gov Scott and his poor Leadership and Lack of Compassion for anyone but the Weathy like him ! Medicaid Expansion will save lives ! The purpose of Medicaid is to be A Safety Net ! Not a Handout but a way of providing dignity to the poor ! So I ask will you help #ExpandMedicaidNow or continue letting WE THE UNINSURED potentially die and play WHAT IF ?

Because IT could be You ! I hope you will see things like President Kennedy who I pictured here did ! He said :Why Not ” and we Put A Man on The Moon ! He said WHAT iF too ! Because he championed the Uninsured ! So I ask WHAT IF ? …..It Was You who was Uninsured ? What Would You Do ? Would You like it ? Would Would You Get It ? I hope you do ! We The Uninsured Need You !

Thank You God Bless

My Friends I posted this meme I made a while back as a reminder of who it is in Fl standing in the way of All The Good People in Fl having Healthcare ! The man in the picture is Fl Gov Rick Scott (R) ! A man who not only denies #ClimateChange is real ! By saying :”I Am Not A Scientist ! ” but health care and dignity to the Poor in his state. A state I reside in ! And used to be proud to say to all I live in ! A state denying myself and 1 Million in Fl a chance at life by #ExpandMedicaidNow !

Florida is the Sunshine State A Tourist mecca ! A retirement destination ! But with Governor Scott there has been no Sunshine only darkness for the working Poor in Fl ! A man who himself came from humble means but has such a cold view of others ! He has aleays had a shady edge to him accused of Swindling The Federal Government out of Medicaid Medicare dollars while CEO of HCA Columbia Hospital Chain ! Gov Scott Pleaded the 5th Ammenment ! ……..and walked away a Billionaire ! Took that money ran for Governor of Fl and is systematically destroying it !

We had disasters in Fl hurricanes for example ! But how Gov Scott manages our state may be the worse one yet ! He does not lead like a Politician but a sterile corporate raider ! He manages our state instead of Leading it ! Not just with #ClimateChange but with #StandYourGround too ! No leadership after the deaths of Trayvan Martin and Jordan Davis ! Just hollow lip service !

Which is how he treats myself Amy and Gen Rodriquez and WE THE UNINSURED OF FL is a real disgrace !  He was against #MedicaidExpansion then for now against it ! Lip service that those of us who are sick of being sick don’t need ! We want action not words ! But No Gov Scott you let Charlene Dill die leaving 3 kids Orphans ! A very cruel heartless thing to do ! You went to Disney World to hobnob with your GOP friends when Leadership was needed on #ExpandMedicaidNow ! You let Speaker Crissifulli (R) kill it ! Thus potentially killing more uninsured ! Why ? Why use us as pawns ? We are human beings ! If you do not like President Obama tell him do not take it out on the people You are sworn to Protect ! Or do you ignore your OATH OF OFFICE too Governor like you ignore WE THE UNINSURED OF FL ! If Florida was a business it would be sued for neglect ! Because it neglects its most vulnerable citizens ! That is why Gov Scott is a disaster ! He has no empathy for anyone except the almighty dollar ! And as a result of his slash and burn mentality WE THE UNINSURED IN FL continue getting burned ! By a heartless profiteer ! And I am being charitable in my description Gov ! Many think worse than this of You and Your Leadership of Florida ! Or Shall I say Misleadership !

No More Treyvan Martin’s , No More Jordan Davis’s , and No More Charlene Dill’s Please Florida ! Get out of the dark and get some Sun in the Light ! Its called Leadership something the man pictured obvoiusly doesn’t have or care to have ! Or as I said in a Blog Is Anyine Running Fl with a conscience ? Sad to say – NOT ! But it must get better for We The Uninsured in Fl ! This is not working so in 2016 lets change things #SaveLives #CloseTheGap and #ExpandMedicaidNow !

Thank you God Bless
