My Friends today I am privileged to reshare a post I wrote called Why I am A Democrat ! I wrote this as a protest to a person who was critical of the direction of My Group Expand Medicaid Now

Jan 24 2015 Why I Am A Democrat
My Friends I know you know I am a Democrat, and a Proud Liberal Progressive One. Today I will share why.

Yesterday I had a debate in my group Expand Medicaid Now. A member complained about my post a petition to Impeach Speaker John Bohner being partisan. Well as you know 99% of my group is Democrats. This aggravated me still does.

So here is why I am a Democrat.  I registered to vote as a Democrat at age 18 am almost 45 now (I am 45 now) and Still am ! The reason is my family my 98 year old Grandmother is a Democrat my disabled Father is a Democrat  ee were working people my mom had to beg for a raise as a servicr worker. But the event that made me a Democrat was when GOP HERO and Former President  Reagan tried to take away people’s Disability for no reason. Like GOP with FOOD STAMPS and Wic today. It happened to my Dad and we were all scaired. But fortunately he got a Lawyer and Won ! But I promised myself that I would never vote for a Republican ! And I have not to this day !

The Democrats gave Us Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, The ACA, which now GOP are salivating to take away ! I too am waiting on SSI. I hope I get it. So I say why try and be bi partisan when the other side always tries to end these programs ! You can not its called fairness which the GOP has little of. in Fl Medicaid Expansion is not happening still. But if Speaker Bohner and  friends cut the ACA it is over ! That is why we must fight to keep these great programs ! It is a Challenge but Democrats Can Will Must and Shall Get It Done !

We are THE HOPE OF THE HOPELESS ! THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS ! If We Do Not Fight Who Will ? Not the GOP who promises at Local State and Federal Level 0 Compromise ! So how can you work with others who want to sabotage others ? You can’t ! That is why I am a Democrat and A Proud Liberal Progressive ! Thank You God Bless

My Friends two weeks ago I wrote this POST ON FACEBOOK.  We have a New Development today ! As Usual Gov Scott is up to his old tricks ! He is denying Medicaid Expansion again ! ***Seource Tampa Tribune April 6,2015 So on We Fight !

March 13,2015
MY Friends tofay the Fl Senate voted to Expand Medicaid in a New Form ! Soon it will go to the Full Senate and then the House then Gov. Scott to sign.

There are reservatioms that I have with this Bill ! I am in Favor of it ! But The Fl Chamber of Commerce is pushing Work Requirements and payment – which I oppose ! Medicaid is designed to be a Safety Net Program for people in poverty ! My question is how do I or someone with No Income pay for it ? When you can not get a job or are disabled like myself ? Is there a provision ? Plus Fl may opt out without Federal Matching Funds ! This too is playing with Fire !

But I Support this because of the Loss of over 1 Billion in Federal Low Income Pool Funds ! Florida Must Act and #ExpandMedicaidNow ! They are playing with FIRE HERE ! And I  as an Uninsured person do not want to get burned !

Potentially We The Uninsured could get burned if the Low  Income Pool is Not Funded or even with it ! As it is A BAND AID ! My friends Hospitals in Fl Will Close ! God Forbid you have an Auto Accident or a Plane Crash or a Disease OUTBREAK LIKE EBOLA ! No TRAUMA CENTER YOU WILL LIKELY
DIE !! 

I hope the Senate and Legislature do the Right Thing and #ExpandMedicaidNow .  This plan can be fixed and is better than what we face with NO LIP ! Which is Hospitals closing Job Loss and potentially needless death !  As opposed to people who are alive healthy and Yes Employed ! Yes this plan IF  PASSED WILL CREATE over 100,000 New Jobs ! ***Seource THE FLORIDA CHANNEL FL SENATE HEALTH COMITEE HEARING !

This now is the BEST OPTION FOR FLORIDA ! The other option LIP s a BAND AID ! The Worst Option NEITHER  MEDICAID EXPANSION or LIP Which is a disaster waiting to happpen !
So lets Hope For The best ! Thank you my Friends. God Bless !

My Friends the #GermanWings Tradgedy was a very sad event. I hope good can come out of this .I am personally saddened by this loss of life. My Thoughts and prayers go out to the victims Families.

But many times Good can come out of something like this ! How you may ask ? Well if someone is hurting and you see it try to help them. Too many suffer in silence with depression anxiety addiction and mental illness. When they can’t and do not get the proper help that they need. The good is there is help for those who need it.

I personally have had issues for years. I tried to go it alone. It was not a good idea. Two years ago I had enough and  then decided to seek help for my problems. I still go for therapy and it helps me. I am fortunate enough to have a loving suportive Family Friends Church Family Social Media Friends and Followers and Neighbors.

Sad to say many are not as blessed as I am. And this post is for them. I have suffered and its not fun,  Saw many dark times but my Faith helped me through.

But for those suffering I understand.  I hope you can find services for yourself.  I know many suffer due to economic reasons and poverty itself is no fun. That is why I Fight to Expand Medicaid so all can seek the help they need.

This should be A Wake Up Call to The World ! Especially in The United States where if you are Uninsured you suffer needlesly. I got in a low cost program, But many are not that fortunate ! And many needless tradgedies happen ! I think if all were insured many would get the help they need.

But it is not just about healthcare and access to it, Some are blessed
to have insurance and go without help and suffer needlessly. This is a sad thing. We need to care about each other ! Peoole need to be kinder to others . That helps me alot others kindness. We need more of it ! Try to pay attention in your Families Friends co workers neigbors if someone needs to talk listen. Try to find them help if possible. Just please care look out for others. You will get pleasure from helping someone ! I do and I believe you will too !

Finally if you are hurting please get help its ok ! I did and it has helped me immensly ! Thank you All God Bless

My Friends I wrote a Blog that was published by House of Public Discourse Called No Reason for This We Need Medicaid Expansion. This is a post that I wrote on Facebook talking about this on June 14 2014 almost 1 yr ago. That inspired that Blog from House of Public Discourse. I am rewriting this as a Blog. The points are as relevant today as then.

My Friends We have two pressing problems that are at an intersection ! Medicaid Expansion and Gun Control. Both are public Health crisises waiting to happen.

The Intersection is all violent shootings that have gone on this week. If Uninsureed and shot and wounded you face huge Medical Bills ! Normally you may not but in the RED STATES THAT ARE REFUSING MEDICAID EXPANSION.  YOU WILL HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF YOU ARE A VICTIM OF GUN VIOLENCE. !

Two of the Worst areas of Uninsured are Miami Dade County where I live and Nee Orleans Louisiana.  THIS MUST STOP, ! It is no coincidence that poverty is off the charts in these cities.

Poverty is part of the problem with gun violence. But the real problem is the powers that be. The Federal State and Local Governments are sitting on their hands while many who are sick are  dying ! In need of Medicaid Expasion Doing Nothing !

Ironically the same people who are opposing Medicaid Expansion are also fighting Gun Control too.!  Last yr in my City Miami Gardens Fl an 11 yr old girl Tequilla Forshee was shot and killed in her own home ! Not by assailants entering the home but in a drive by on bycycles.  She was waiting for her Grandmother to braid her hair. A Safety Issue and Needless Death !

Plus many of you have seen me post on 32 yr old single mom of 3 Charlene Dill who died of a heart attack because Fl would not Expand Medicaid.! 2 deaths that could have been prevented but No Fl could care less ! Treyvan Martin and Jordan Davis were also needless deaths by gun  ! We are allowing people to die at an alarming rate…..and there is NO REASON FOR IT !

Yet we have gun nuts parading around Target  like it is a police state  with assault rifles ! (This issue was resolved Last year ) But is still going on in other stores. Scairing Moms and kids to death ! Plus we see separtist  hate groups killing police and Government Officials.

The irony is the same people who were encouraging this behavior at Target last yr and other stores are also opposed to Medicaid Expansion. We face Hate Like Never before……and it must stoo before we are stopped. There is hope however as a Moveon Member I learned of a proposal to Expand Medicaid by bypassing the tea party led State Legislatures and giving the money directly to the Local Authorties.! Who have alot to lose.  Local hospitals and trauma centers may close.without Medicaid Expansion ! Which means if you get shot you may not live.

As an uninsured person being shot as an innocent victim is my worst fear ! I live in a violent place No Matter Miami Gardens Miami Dade County  City of Miami Ft Lauderdale Hollywood Broward County . It is All over ! Not a day goes by without someone getting shot . It happened at or near two supermarkets I shop at and my church.

That is why we need  both Gun Control and Medicaid Expansion to save lives ! Plus the mental health issue – treatment of the mentally ill or those in crisis could care and will save lives ! And It May Be Your Own !

We must unite our lives and way of Life are at stake. ! The events in Las Vegas (Last year) are proof of this. Many with guns are good people ! But many are plotting to destroy our way of Life ! This is a critical time in America ! These problems must be solved before election day ! Yes we should #VoteBlue but some may not live until election day to do so ! And that is my concern RIGHT NOW ! Many Can Not Wait ! Please All tell me your ooinions on on Medicaid Expansion and the proposal I mentioned. Do you think cities should have tough gun laws instead of The Federal Government ? Thank you All God Bless
